This had left them both hurt and furious, emotions which Luna knew full well would suppurate and fester within their souls. It did not take much to deduce that the trust a student held in her teacher now lay in tatters. Could you explain the basics of what happened?". Please wait here.". "Without her, we can't be friends anymore!" "Applejack, ah' have lived a long, long life. However, her memories did not betray her. 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.". Meanwhile, Rarity had managed to pull herself together. The other Bearers, accompanied by the Princess of Love now seek to repair relations with the Bearer of Magic, in hopes of the restoration of the Elements of Harmony to action. Rainbow cut in. "Yes, Princess," said Twilight with concern. 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. "Eeyup, there ain't nothing in Equestria that's going to break this shield." She then smiled and clenched an eye as a red Spartan came into view on the river. Back at Sugarcube Corner, time had ticked away since the girls had arrived. The time has come for Canterlot to learn the true strength of the Changelings". That lesson was to never ignore the concerns of your friends, no matter how small. How she, out of her friends, her brother and her mentor was the only one to notice the glints of Chrysalis's evil under the shroud of her poorly rehearsed masquerade, how helpless and shocked she felt when Chrysalis brainwashed Shining, how little her friends took her seriously when she tried to tell them her concerns about the impostor, how hurt and betrayed she felt when they walked out on her, following her brother to comfort a pony who was completely undeserving of any sympathy, regardless of the crocodile tears she shed, how lost everything seemed when Celestia was defeated and she and her friends were captured before they could reach the Elements of Harmony, and how justified she felt after Chrysalis was beaten. "Shininghow could you? Said Luna, who had little idea her guests would be royal guards with very specific orders. Luna responded. In your disguise, try to look panicked and terrified. Barked Blade, who ran off to prepare the freshly replenished Changeling Army. "Surrender now and you will not be harmed.". Replied Twilight lovingly. Said Applejack. Twilight is skeptical about her brother's wedding and Ash is worried about the threat on Canterlot. "We weren't going to let Twilight be demoted back to Magic Kindergarten just like that! You will also be in charge of drilling. It won't go away. How could they simply leave her hurt and alone after everything she had done for them? Twilight's head drooped sadly. After all, one cannot be mad at a child for simply going with the flow. Helping the unicorn to dry her eyes, Spike stood back as Twilight returned to her hooves. 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. "I will not fail you.". 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. Said Alkaios. Unbeknownst to them, a Changeling disguised as a tanned yellow pegasus stallion, replete with a brown mane and tail had walked into town, and was quietly observing them. The point here is that the girls are sorry for abandoning you and they want to make things right! Rarity, meanwhile, had a relatively peaceful journey back to her place of business, but she also had a feeling it would be a while before Twilight will forgive her and the other girls. But in that fateful moment, everything changed. With that, the war room returned to its usual activity. If you know of any of their movements, let me know immediately! "You see, I'm worried about the threat from the changelings." Although the changelings along with their queen, Chrysalis, had been defeated during the royal wedding, no one could be certain where they . Suddenly, Fluttershy walked over to Twilight. Cadance figured that Twilight would only answer personally to her; anypony else fell under Spike's jurisdiction. No doubt the events from earlier were still taking a hefty toll on her mind. Said source was Spike, who was facing the wall with his head bowed not in reverence, but in sadness. You see, before I became Nightmare Moon, I shared rule of Equestria with my dear sister. "I see somepony is eager!" Replied the four guards in unison, following Shining down the hall as he trotted ahead of them. Shining sighed deeply. Twilight had eventually stopped sobbing, her emotional wounds partially healed by the warmth handed unto her by the Mane 5. Panting heavily, she turned to face Shining, tears streaming down her face. ", "Is that so?" The Mane 5, with Cadance in tow, entered the main room of the library. "Why did I ever doubt her? After sitting down and taking the first bite into her breakfast, the elder Apple spoke again. You saw much potential in her. Now, do me a favour and try not to cry while I'm spying on you.". She made a difference in Twilight when she forgot about friendship after becoming Princess Celestias star protge and you took her love for you for granted. Did they really have the matter under control, or were they too caught up in the wedding to remember what was at stake? "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. Without them, Equestria is defenseless.". Meanwhile, a second echelon, made up of thugs and lowlives from neighbouring towns and villages in the Badlands will advance northeast towards Canterlot, where upon arrival they will smash their way through the city and, through sheer brutality, cripple the Royal Guard's defensive perimeter.". With authority, the baby dragon approached the Princess of Love to state his business. For Celestia and the Mane 5, this was very grave news. Aside from that, there's nothing else to report. Applejack, meanwhile, slowly trudged back to Sweet Apple Acres, saddened and dejected. "There's nowhere in the town we can hide. Spike could only smile at that. She smiled at him warmly. 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. All of this was going down a pair of raging waterfalls that flowed down the mare's face. Replied Twilight, who lay down on her hindlegs as she crossed her forelegs under her head. Twilight is not in the mood to be messed with.". 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. Rarity quipped cautiously. Stepping inside the library, she made herself comfortable. With that, Spike began packing his things. Applejack's always been very punctual. I just didn't think that what I did would hurt her so badly. We'll be waiting.". Replied Shining, who prepared to inform his officers via magical telepathy of their orders. A brief silence took hold as Celestia registered the news, before resuming her job. With that, Spike walked back inside. We thought leavin' her alone to think about what she had done would be best for her.". 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. Yet another price had been paid for their mistake, and one that was very, very costly. In fact, she looked about the same as Pinkie. "Hello Twilight." How will the mane 5, Celestia and Shining Armor bring Twilight back to . Only the Creator knew how long they were going to be there, but that mattered little to Cadance. Despite this, Cadance continued to console the distraught unicorn with all the love she had to give and more. Despite being calmed by magic, Twilight still let out small sobs. ", "You have nothing to be sorry for my dear sister. To her, the Royal Guard were as naive as ever, but one should never underestimate their capabilities. Anyway, the three ponies seated themselves in the living room, both Night and Velvet bracing themselves for whatever Luna had to say. ", "That's not the point Princess! This time, I am willingly choosing to leave because I regret leaving Twilight at all. "What if I was wrong? "Ok girls, I trust you are all aware Twilight will not be pleased to see you?". None of us even looked her in the eye, nor did we show the slightest sign we still cared about her. 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. It worked to dreadful effect; Shining disowned Twilight as a sister and Best Mare, all five of her friends walked out on her and even Celestia showed no compassion. Yelled Rainbow, equally as shocked as the Sun Princess. Growling with intense menace, Chrysalis looked around her in order to find something to tear apart. After thanking the runner, who left the war room immediately, Shining read the letter, which was sent from the village attacked by the Changelings moments earlier. "Is that why you've come here?! Page generated in 0.03 seconds I'm so sorry Twilight. "CHARGE!" Said Rainbow. Applebloom told me about it, y'all were attacked by the Changelings. Even Spark was having trouble dancing the ballet of clashed blades with his other, despite his high morale. Celestia could feel another slash tear through her heart as Luna hit her with another telling question. ", "There is blind loyalty, Rainbow, and then there is experience. How are we gonna be friends with her again if we can't forgive ourselves?!". It all started after we had arrived at Canterlot. Said Chrysalis confidently. The skin of a killer, Bella!": sparkly vampire skin hits the runway at @DIESEL Autumn/Winter . 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. Meanwhile, Pinkie had also just woken up. Chrysalis, on the other hoof, was not quite finished. ", "Of course we do!" The Lunar Princess knocked on the door, Twilight Velvet wasting no time in answering. princess twilight ts - twilight sparkle rd - rainbow dash ry - rarity aj - applejack fs - fluttershy pp . He didn't stay with Twilight not because he willingly chose to leave Twilight to wallow in her misery. Nodding to signal their replies, the Mane 5 followed Cadance out of the castle to the train station, leaving the Princess alone in the hall. Things were building to a climax as Celestia's eyes and teeth clenched tighter and tighter with every passing second. Worse still, she couldn't comprehend just how little she cared for Twilight, compared to the amount of love and attention she gives to her animal friends daily. Before long, Applejack had managed to pull herself together. She decided it was high time Spike was given something to think about. 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. Before him, the girl's faces were clear expressions of shock and dismay, so too was Cadance's. This site and its contents are not affiliated with Hasbro, Inc. What do you mean Canterlot nearly fell?! "She bewitched her Smartypants doll with a Want It Need It spell which made half of Ponyville, including Big Mac, Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo rip each other apart trying to get it. 212. If you'd allow me, I will describe it to you in detail.". By cutting off your ties with her and brushing off her warnings, you nearly brought upon Equestrias ultimate destruction. Indeed, it had been 1000 years since I last saw Equestria, and much has changed. You can still be angry at Twilight's friends, Shining Armor and Celestia, but not too much. "It's Spike. Replied Twilight, who headed back inside. As for Spike, he was very much pushed to his limits here. the Mane 5 could do little more than look at each other, speechless and shaken. After being laid down gently on the floor, the blue pegasus came to. 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. 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. I just..". "Cadance and Twilight were so close that they did everything together, even the hoofshake. I mean, I know Twilight was only looking out for us and she was worried for me but the way she barged in with no proof to back up her reasoning, I couldn't tell whether or not she was trying to destroy the wedding or shatter our friendship.. 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. But as time passed, the losses began to build as even though they had lost a lot of their troops, the Changelings were gaining a lead over the Royal Guards. Night and Velvet gently descended to the ground, their bodies embraced by Luna's inoculation spell. Everypony has learned from their mistakes, not least the girls. Y'all have brought shame to our family something fierce. Adventure. You're no fool. "They forgive each other no matter what! It is I who should be remorseful and ashamed.". That is all.". All she was doing was trying to save your high and mighty flank from getting beat by the Changelings, and THAT is how you repay her?! ", "Only the Royal Guard garrison ma'am. Did you, all of you, forget that Canterlot was under threat of an attack?!". Rarity had awoken from her sleep, groggy but quite well-rested. Entire towns and villages had fallen mostly by his hoof alone, hence why Blade saw fit to pick him for this job. 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. The price you paid was one which I know very well caused you immense grief. The bubbles began to increase in brightness as the energy of the spell increased, the forms of both Velvet and Night becoming obscured by the brightening light. "Shining, take four of your men and bring Luna to me. Grunting and groaning angrily, the Changeling Queen got up on all fours, before raising a hoof into the sky in damnation. 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. What matters is that we are sorry for what we did, and all we want now is for us to be friends again. Prepare your troops for battle!". 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. They will no doubt be complemented by cavalry and supported by archers from the castle's parapets. Twilight was ravin' about Cadence being an impostor and repeatedly called her evil, which made her cry. ", "Lady Velvet, Sir Light, the reason I am here is because of your aura.". Now she knew what was going on, but then came the million-bit question; how would the events of the wedding affect her, and what would come in the future relating to that event that would also affect her? ", "No problem Cadance." State your business!" Snapped Spike. But that was the thing. "Beautiful? Alt. Celestia moped, acknowledging her captain's first name for the first time in a long time. "What is it honey? asked Velvet, feeling concerned. "What happened? An evil and satisfied smile crept across the Changeling Queen's mouth. Go now and assemble the army. "Princess, I don't know about this. Emotions which, once they took hold, would give way to malice, evil and nightmares, an experience which consumed the Lunar Princess herself. Before she could say anything, Celestia continued. She wondered what could be so important that the Princess needed to speak to her personally. Surely they won't allow themselves to be defeated as easily as last time! "Girls, tell me Twilight wasn't right. They would act as a second echelon, coming in from behind to support the main force. ", "Yeah, we screwed up big time."
