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. ", "It is a good plan, Commander." Unfortunately, in his haste to leave, he wasn't prepared for what came next. "Lieutenant Fang, let it be known that this operation will be enacted on a size and scale greater than that of the first. Not only did Celestia abandon her, but she stabbed her with a proverbial dagger through her heart. Knowing that there was no escape, he took a deep breath and made his decision with a heavy heart. Perhaps the word "Twily" sparked connotations between Twilight and the memory of her brother banishing her. They had spent the time chatting, while idly wondering where Applejack was. This was starting to sound strange. The Nightmare Forces possessed my body, transforming me into the devil known as Nightmare Moon. "The aim of the pegasi attacking the castle is to cut off the princesses from their guards and divert them somewhere we can corner them. 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. ", "No Rarity, I haven't forgotten, but let me ask you this. Only Rarity found the courage to say anything, but even she knew it would be feeble. 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. The group was nearing Ponyville, and Cadance knew it was time for them to get ready. Almost instantly, Blade returned to the throne room, always ready and eager to serve his queen. Whatever Celestia wanted her for, it certainly wasn't anything light-hearted. I may fall, but I will fight you to the bitter end, because that is the reason I am a Royal Guard! In the aftermath of the wedding, Twilight has found that her friends have grown. 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. Spike roared, pointing a finger at the Mane 5 as he did so. asked Night with a hint of disappointment. Same goes for Sergeant Tone and his men.". 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. Many of my unicorns will experience an incredibly tough battle initially, given the Princesses' powers, but over time they will weaken, and my troops will gain the upper hoof. The aura she was sensing was undeniably strong, and bitter in feeling. Please believe me, it didn't feel right to leave you hurting like that, but I didn't want to be ejected from the wedding either. They heard me cryin' last night and wanted to know what was wrong. Would you care to stay with me for the time being?". You should be ashamed of yourself!". The first, she imagined, would be giving her a gift of a simple, but beautifully made dress. Deadpanned Applejack. Shinings heart sank deeper into his stomach. Night and Velvet leaned in close; whatever news he had was obviously bad. Only the Creator knows where they are right now." Snake grinned. Unnerved, but not visibly so, Shining decided to make an announcement to his officers. We'll let you in, but they are not allowed on this property!" By: Black Kyurem. Designed and coded by knighty & Xaquseg - 2011-2023, Privacy Having opened the letter and read its contents, Shining learned of how Chrysalis and the remnants of her army had attacked a settlement near the border, burning it to the ground and taking the inhabitants prisoner. With that, Shining left the war room. "Hunter! A storm was crashing down upon the Black Widow's Peaks, rain as thick as glass soaking the jagged mountaintops. I need to check with Twilight. It was my pride that convinced me to leave my best friend so I could follow after the Queen of them Changeling thugs, who I foolishly believed to be the real Princess Cadance. But what was I supposed to do? "They were shocked and angered by what I told them. It then fell to Commander Barbarousis to conclude the briefing. You're not the only pony who's having a rough time. It was thanks to Cadance, in part, that we now realize the magnitude of our sins. 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. According to testimony from her friends, she told them that she saw the impostor embarrass and humiliate them without them even realizing it, something that my niece would never, ever do. Lesson Zero was the first thing that came into their minds, a testament to the weight of their collective failure. He knew he'd have to tell them everything that happened including their betrayal and the invasion that followed their naivety and ignorance to her. If the damage wasn't so substantial, then the ponies in question would be allowed to return home. ", "I was well aware of such a situation unfolding sir." Cadance's face produced a frank expression. "If you're thinking about chastising me, I beg of you to reconsider. I will ensure that the Sparkle parents do find peace, or may I be damned to Tartarus for my failure.". "On your hooves, quickly! It was my pride!that made me betray you Sugarcube. "That's the Changeling Queen's name, and it sounds every bit as evil as she is." After taking a look in the mirror to check her face (and after briefly washing it), that's when it clicked. "Yes ma'am!" "Hi girls." Captain, may I talk to you in private?". But they refused to believe it was anything more serious than wedding stress. The greatest evidence of a life-changing event is one's memories, and at the present time, the memory in Shining's head was fresher than a baker's dozen from Sugarcube Corner. Bowing to his queen, Blade departed the hall, leaving Snake Bite alone with Chrysalis. Following behind him was a sight that made the group tense up nervously. As for the other group of officers, they are to take their men and assist with reconstruction efforts wherever they are needed.". A battle was on the rise, but before the already present hostilities could escalate, the two sides stopped just metres from each other. "Whoa nelly, would y'look at that?" On why did she have to be punished like this? 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. She, too, is sorry for betraying you, and she is willing to settle the matter using any method possible. Now, he felt like the world's worst brother. Chuckled Chrysalis, entertained by Spark's determination. She didn't know it at the time, but she was late for the meeting. "You heard her. "Aunt Celestia, Twilight wishes me to inform you that she is no longer your student. With that, the girls bade each other farewell, before returning to their homes. "CHARGE!" 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. Tell me we didn't forsake innocent lives for a wedding". You didnt even give Spike a chance to choose the wedding or her!, "Mom, please!" ", "Your Majesty, the word "failure" does not exist in my vocabulary. Tone asked flatly. We want this to end on good terms, that is all. The Mane 5's ears collectively drooped in disappointment. Chrysalis's threat was met with laughter from the Guards, angering her greatly. Velvet took a long look at Night Light, who nodded firmly in response. Sorry you had to see us in this state. "I understand your grief completely now, Sir Light and Lady Velvet, but while I empathize with your plight, I am not here to promise swift vengeance. "Girls, remember what you learned. I'm so sorry Twilight. Perhaps she had been a bit too scathing in her criticism of her sister. The girls were leaving you..what could I have done? ", "No Fluttershy,I haven't. I have a job for them.". A house, a rock, anything would suffice. "I don't know what happened after that because we were ordered out of the hall by the Royal Guard, but I have every faith that Twilight played a part in the victory over the changelings. "May we bring you anything Princess?" With no words, he awaited his orders. ", "I know Dad", sighed Shining. "There was no way I could have known..I did everything I could!". 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. All this was as per Shining Armor's orders to get Canterlot back to working capacity. "So Sugarcube, will y'have us as friends again?". Once they had walked clear of the structure, Twilight's shield spell covered it once more. Said Alkaios. Total duration However, her memories did not betray her. said Shining. "Pack your things Spike. The Lunar Princess knocked on the door, Twilight Velvet wasting no time in answering. As a teacher, Celestia was extremely disappointed in herself. Replied Chrysalis. 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. Replied Shining, equally as sorrowful. "No ma'am. Just as the cowpony was about to reply, a voice rang out from across the room. pleaded Shining in protest. 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. May I come in?". When they did enter, she wasted no time leaving the game before getting up off her beanie bag to face Shining, who had just walked in behind his vanguard. It was apparent that the Changelings had taken them prisoner.". Back at the library, Twilight's sobs were beginning to slow. "But Commander, what of the Element Bearers? "I wish to inform Princess Celestia of an attack on our subjects." Helping the unicorn to dry her eyes, Spike stood back as Twilight returned to her hooves. However, Blade ordered Snake to hold position for a little while longer, so as to not make things seem suspicious. It wasn't long before they reached the bridge that crossed into the treacherous woodland. "Then why did you not defend Twilight at the wedding rehearsal?". But worst of all, we threatened to plunge Equestria into eternal night, just so I could get my own self-gratification from watching the ponies celebrate my night. Before long, she had reached her old quarters from when she was living in the castle, still in her early days as Celestia's protege. "Take that back Twilight! "I don't think there's much we can do Shining. "Twilight, I won't fool around with you. ", "Of course we do!" "But Princess, we can't just sit here and do nothing!" She would reveal her true identity, before going horn-to-horn against Celestia. Luna spoke softly. How could you do such a thing?! 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. "Well, there was the time Twilight went crazy about her friendship reports to Princess Celestia. As for what you're going to tell her, I'm sure once the time comes, you will know what to say, and more importantly, how to say it. Cadance had just recently left Carousel Boutique to check up on Twilight, as she had planned previously. "May I get you anything?" With a deep sigh of resignation, Applejack prepared to bite the bullet. Wracked with grief, Applejack flopped onto her bed in tears, but not before hurriedly hanging up her trademark Stetson. Grinning evilly, Chrysalis held little care for such a plight. Without them, Equestria is defenseless.". "Canterlot Caves?" I don't remember exactly what happened after that, but I do remember asking her what spell she had learned.". She loved them all very dearly, which explained the great pain she was feeling. 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? Night and Velvet gently descended to the ground, their bodies embraced by Luna's inoculation spell. "It's Spike. Do you remember the day I became Nightmare Moon?". It was just them against the world. "Well, things happened, concerning a few ponies including mahself, Twilight and the other girls. "Princess, we have brought your sister as you requested.". If your levels of bitterness increase, so too will the strength of the forces, to the point where the spell cannot protect you. "We all betrayed it. The reason is that in light of my most recent actions, as well as those of Captain Armor and the Element Bearers, Canterlot nearly fell.". As they were doing this, Commander Barbarousis had come up with an idea, one he thought would benefit the operation and the army immensely. Twilight's brother and Celestia also walked out on her, which left her emotionally devastated. "I turned to the dark side for want of recognition of the beauty of the night by my subjects. Tears began to flow from their eyes and everything, but most importantly, the last word had fallen to Twilight. Spike witnesses it and, after the Changelings are sent away, Twilight is awakened by the same shockwave. 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! Can you take care of things here?". Spike looked back at the girls, angered. "Come on girls, you did well the first time. From the numerous cracks and windows that dotted the structure, a sickly green light glowed, with trace amounts of smoke rising from them. Thus she knew what she needed to do. "Princess, you are aware Twilight isn't exactly innocent of her crimes either?" Everything that had happened over the past couple of days was still raging in her mind. Pinkie piped happily. Even Spark was having trouble dancing the ballet of clashed blades with his other, despite his high morale. ", "No ma'am. "Yeah. 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. His partner did the same, before stepping back to allow Shining access. Still, that is not the reason you summoned me.". "Twilight please! Chrysalis had her enemies right where she wanted them, and it was all thanks to Twilight that this was possible. Spike's request was greeted with a smile, but Cadance wisely remembered Twilight might not be too pleased to see him. The tale that Celestia was spinning before her was intriguing her more and more. It is I who should be remorseful and ashamed.". FLASHBACK. The reason was obvious; Twilight would be welcoming to everypony else but her former friends, her Big Brother Former Best Friend Forever and as of late, her former teacher. Those girls have no right to even look me in the eye! She made a run for the front door, until a voice stopped her. I need you, however, to talk to Twilight. "I.Oh Luna.I don't know why we left her. The Changelings bowed to greet their queen, before casting hard and menacing looks upon the line of prisoners that were marched inside. Have you forgotten just how much she believed in you? The Mane 5 were completely stuck for words. 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. "Twilight has left the city with Spike". If we are to regain our strength, we must feed. She mocked and belittled my efforts to prepare for the wedding, as well as those of the others. I will run Canterlot into the ground, even if it takes my life.". With that, Shroud left to get the blacksmiths to work. "All I cared about at that point was being a bridesmaid, and the added honour of mingling with Canterlot's nobility. But we did, so in all honesty, we can chalk that up to being a big fat lie. How were they able to come to Twilight's aid the first time, when they did not the second time? 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 the past is the past. "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. ", "You have nothing to be sorry for my dear sister. The finest spy in my intelligence corps.". You must let me go with Cadance. "You're a love-stealing evil thug!". ", "But that's not true Granny Smith! ", "Either way Son, you have shamed your family." The obvious coldness that the group could feel radiating off her. "Cadance, is there anything else you wish to tell me?". said the recomposed Night Light. 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. The poor mare was exhausted, having gone through so much up to this point. Page generated in 0.03 seconds Try not to look suspicious. Finished Barbarousis. But then came the sound of snorting mixed with snoring. It left a horrible panging feeling in her heart as once more, the magnitude of her and the girl's collective actions hit home. However, Twilight seemed to only cry harder. cried Velvet. For all intents and purposes, this felt like an interrogation, and probably the most painful and harrowing encounter she had to deal with yet. Indeed, it was rock solid. The other girls silently nodded as they cried; even if they were to try again, the same result will be apparent and they didn't want that if they were going to get Twilight to be their friend once again. Just then, Spike stepped down the stairs. Cadance could do little more than stroke her mane with a free hoof while trying to soothe the unicorn with comforting words. Applejack could not answer. "Oh mah" Said Applejack, horrified. After a long and hard trudge through the Black Widow's Peaks, Chrysalis, along with what remained of her army and the prisoners they took from the Canterlot settlement arrived at the Changeling hive, one of the tallest peaks in the entire mountain range. It seemed for a moment she had the upper hand, until Chrysalis turned the tables and defeated her, an event which shocked us all.". Meanwhile, Rarity had managed to pull herself together. Fang stepped before Chrysalis, his eyes shimmering with anticipation. "It's going to be OK.". Just make sure you knock before entering.". Everything we had been through together, all those friendship lessons we had learned, we threw them out the window as if they were trash. They are led by Cadance, the Princess of Love and their mission is to broker a renewed peace with Twilight. "Come on in Cady. As for Spike, he was very much pushed to his limits here. It was also revealed at the wedding that the impostor had put Captain Armor under a mind-control spell, with Twilight watching every second of it. "Is that it?" a canterlot wedding twilight betrayed fanfiction . "We understand darling." And as for you, you walked out on her too! Shining sighed deeply. Takes place during A Canterlot Wedding. "Ok men, engage your disguises. The Mane 5 looked at each other glumly, before nodding to Cadance. 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. Spike was not finished yet. Luna responded. Celestia has requested your presence in the wedding hall immediately.". May I come in?". "Go now Snake Bite. Chrysalis cackled evilly. Instead, it was a case of "had". Suddenly, Fluttershy walked over to Twilight. When it all comes crashing down, the night will fall. I don't think I can trust them again, not after that. "Very well" Replied Cadance. It is with honest hearts that we apologize for abandoning you when you needed us most. 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. Alkaios! Unfortunately for Luna, she would be proven right as the group approached the throne room. 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. by | Aug 21, 2022 | comfortable kitten heel wedding shoes | moreton bay council wedding venues | Aug 21, 2022 | comfortable kitten heel wedding shoes | moreton bay council wedding venues As a result, my thoughts and feelings turned to darkness, and it was not long before the Nightmare Forces found me languishing in my bitterness and hatred. Good day to you all!". In unison, the Mane 5 bowed their heads sadly. As she began pushing down the right trigger using her magic, there were three knocks on the door. Pinkie Pie went back to Sugarcube Corner and her spirits were lifted by the Cakes and their children greeting her happily. She was deep in thought, as well as misery. "Shhh, it's OK sweetie. With little hesitation, Shining followed Celestia through the doors, the guards saluting as she went. "I will not leave anypony to fall victim to the same force that once held me, certainly not this night, nor any other. It was a difficult task to remember what Night Light had told him. However, they were completely harvested. 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. In exchange for their services they would be allowed to do whatever they please. However, despite her sureness Rainbow could not shake off the nagging of her conscience, which continued to question her loyalty towards Twilight. Yet, for somepony who holds so much faith in her student, and especially when that same student in equal measure believes in you, how could you let her down?". I did not do it on purpose. Applejack barked angrily. "If you think I'm gonna surrender, you're dead wrong Chrysalis. Things did not go as hoped for Applejack and the rest of the Mane 5. "I hope you aren't hurt? Aegis's Guards stood to attention, poised to strike on his word. In the midst of her struggle to find an answer to how she failed to differentiate the impostor from her niece, tears began flowing from her eyes. They were all suffering equally as bad as she was, and thus they had to be there for each other and for Twilight especially. "Celestia, please wake up!" "I don't know Luna. The train had now reached the midway point on its journey and yet, Twilight still did not feel at peace. 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. Celestia cried. "Is that so?" "I'll talk to her first Rarity, let her know you all feel terrible for what you did and you want to apologize. While the latter would be pleased to see her again, the presence of the girls would equate to a presence entering her home that was never welcome from the day they had first met. In the last invasion, Chrysalis tried employing a policy wherein her troops would not kill, even those who fought against them. The girls did not move a muscle, stuck in a shocked trance. Inside the Changeling Hive, which too was being lashed by the ferocious rainfall, the leaders of Queen Chrysalis's army were gathered inside the war room, studying a strategic map of Canterlot which was spread out on the table. If no resolution could be reached, fighting could then begin.
