I believe that Twilight's parents should be informed of these events as soon as you are finished.". Unfortunately, it was too late. Maugrim added jubilantly. "Please don't leave me.", "Shh Sugarcube." Shining dug deep before finally letting it roll off his tongue. You see, before I became Nightmare Moon, I shared rule of Equestria with my dear sister. ", "I got called into a meetin' with Granny Smith and Big Mac. The captain was debating whether to watch over her or leave her in peace, but before he could make up his mind, Celestia suddenly let out a distressed whimper. "No Granny Smith. Replied Applejack, slightly unsure of what was about to happen. Shining's thoughts were soon interrupted by the sound of Celestia throwing herself atop her bed, dispirited and miserable. "They will heal. The Mane 5 did indeed regret everything; now was their opportunity to prove it. Without Twilight to lead them, the Elements of Harmony would become useless, and Equestria as a whole would lose its greatest means of defense. Greater matters such as this always overruled the minor details, a fact Cadance did not forget. "Applejack, ah' have lived a long, long life. As for Celestia, even though her mane still billowed proudly from her scalp, she looked very forlorn and remorseful. We'll be waiting.". They were happy and content, but there was something in their eyes that Applejack could see. However, the former could not help but wonder why if Luna was so badly affected that she allowed the Nightmare Forces to take her over, then why did the same not happen to Twilight? As she began pushing down the right trigger using her magic, there were three knocks on the door. 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. 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. Just then, the conductor called out from the middle carriage. ", "Only the Royal Guard garrison ma'am. "Surrender now and you will not be harmed.". "Lieutenant, I must inform the Princess of the attack on the settlement. Surely one like yourself would have learned from their past mistakes. 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. You may not be omnipotent, and on that matter, neither am I, but you of all ponies should know when something is wrong. 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. Initially, Rarity was met with no answer. "I'll go and get Twilight. 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. "Excellent." ", "Of course we do!" We must catch the train". 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. Disguise yourselves and your men, and we will go hide somewhere nopony will find us. Before his eyes, it opened to reveal Twilight, who was packing her saddlebags. Pinkie rose her head above the display case, her expression a concerning mashup of a forced smile coupled with a miserable upper-half, which left Rarity mildly disturbed. 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.". "Well, if you're lookin' at apologizing a third time, it better be pretty darn good! With that, Spike went back inside, the doors closing behind him. "Why?" Recognizing the voice of her foalsitter, she unlocked the door, allowing Cadance to open it. "Nothing sinister darling. 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. You will also be in charge of drilling. Cadance knew they had to do something and fast; the changelings and Chrysalis were still at large and if they don't get Twilight back as their best friend and the Element of Magic back in full swing, the Elements would remain inactive and Equestria would still be open to attack. "Very well. She made a run for the front door, until a voice stopped her. Twitter, MLP: Friendship is Magic - 2023 Hasbro Inc. Shining couldn't keep it together anymore and slowly wept. But then came the sound of snorting mixed with snoring. Whatever thunder Applejack was packing was quickly silenced. With a sigh, she chose to come clean. At the same time, more dive bomber teams will hit the enemy's archers, attacking them from behind before entering the castle. Suddenly, with authority Spike threw his hat on the ground, not caring in the slightest about whatever damage it suffered. ", "But that wasn't your niece. "Is that it?" The group was intimidated, but only a little. "That is a question I am tormented with every day ma'am." We'll let you in, but they are not allowed on this property!" Understood?". "It'sIll fill you in on everything inside", said Shining as they went into the living room. "You are in charge of the armory. 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. Prepare the prisoners for their rehabilitation.". 212. Once they had walked clear of the structure, Twilight's shield spell covered it once more. 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. In response, Dark Shroud, another of Chrysalis's officers, and one of the most experienced in her army stepped forth. Asked Rarity worriedly. Twilight could have stopped the Changelings from wreaking havoc, but she was never given the chance! Hoping that Celestia might help him, he turned to her for answers. The alicorn started crying, her stubbornness finally failing. "No Mom, I don't wanna go to flight school." Rainbow groaned groggily. 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. While I watched over my night, the ponies were asleep in their beds. Her expression was calm, but serious. The only thing she couldn't imagine happening, however, was a second invasion. It then fell to Commander Barbarousis to conclude the briefing. She then smiled and clenched an eye as a red Spartan came into view on the river. Rarity quipped cautiously. In your disguise, try to look panicked and terrified. Shining proceeded to salute before answering. I understand why you are upset.". "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. 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. Snake was renowned for his effectiveness on the field, particularly in espionage and marking targets for the army to eliminate. We both know Cadance is capable of taking on any responsibility with the same good grace and warmth she is so blessed with. It won't go away. I mean, what are the chances they could screw up again? "Nervous?" I want the new army to be deadlier than before. They even issued the warning that if we fail to apologize to Twilight properly, then she may never forgive us again.". What if she really was just going through a hard time? princess twilight ts - twilight sparkle rd - rainbow dash ry - rarity aj - applejack fs - fluttershy pp . May I come in?". Answered Pinkie, her voice, for once, devoid of any jubilance. ", "I just came to see how you were after yesterday. Said Fluttershy. Twilight had just reunited with her brother, who also happened to be the groom. Replied Luna, who walked inside. "Aura? With that, the girls bade each other farewell, before returning to their homes. 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. Meanwhile, Rarity had managed to pull herself together. All three had very well-developed and clever minds, which could use the full capabilities of their respective species to full advantage. 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 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. With no time to lose, he headed off to carry out his orders. 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. Chat! The wedding hall was one of those scenes at the present time: the picture of purest sadness. How are we going to deal with them? After all, one cannot be mad at a child for simply going with the flow. Said Chrysalis, her men following the command. "All I cared about at that point was being a bridesmaid, and the added honour of mingling with Canterlot's nobility. Tell her I will seek an audience when the time is right.". Finally, Luna cast the spell, and it encapsulated both Velvet and Night in two white bubbles filled with interlinking particles of magic. With little hesitation, Shining followed Celestia through the doors, the guards saluting as she went. "But what if this second echelon decides to rebel against us? "Last night, Big Mac heard y'all crying harder than a timberwolf who had both legs cut off.". I will return, and when I do, Canterlot will BURN!". "Twilight please! Following behind him was a sight that made the group tense up nervously. As quietly as she could, she made her way back to her bedroom. I failed the Element of Kindness because I failed to show you any compassion. She glanced at the three commanders, before looking at General Skoula, whom she greeted with a nod. However, she was at war with her pride, which was trying to convince her that Twilight's actions were over the top and completely unlike her, not to mention rude and shameful. The Lunar Princess knocked on the door, Twilight Velvet wasting no time in answering. "You may see her, young Spike, but take heed. Another brief pause followed, before Spike made the decision to report to Twilight. How could they simply leave her hurt and alone after everything she had done for them? This was the latter's ultimate redemption. You all were.". ", "If it is any help Rainbow, I would advise you do not beat around the bush with her. She, too, is sorry for betraying you, and she is willing to settle the matter using any method possible. ", "Listen Twilight, I know how much you feel they betrayed you, and I fully understand how much they hurt you. Still, she tried her best to remain perky, and after having breakfast herself, she set to work stacking Sugarcube Corner's display case with treats and confectioneries of all shapes and sizes. That was an impostor with evil intentions, yet you let her facade fool you, and I know you sister. Said Chrysalis confidently. Yelled a voice from outside the door. "Now I must return to the palace. The Changelings bowed to greet their queen, before casting hard and menacing looks upon the line of prisoners that were marched inside. Twilight looked at Spike with a frank expression. The valley through which the convoy walked was dotted with rocks and boulders of all shapes and sizes, with the surrounding mountains acting as a perimeter wall which surrounded the hive. ", "Funny you should mention that Fluttershy, because I didn't either." Still, it needed to be done, and the stallion knew he could not forsake priorities for his own wellbeing. 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. ", "Yeah..I guess." Fluttershy said before yawning mid-sentence. Somewhere in the outskirts of Canterlot, Chrysalis regained consciousness after suffering both a heavy defeat and a long fall from Canterlot Castle deep into the province's borderlands. 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. He didn't like leaving Twilight so broken, but he didn't want to be cast out of the wedding either. 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. From the sound of the plan, this new operation would succeed where the previous attempt failed. ", "Thank you your Majesty." ", "Exactly." "Hi Cadance. "Then why did you not defend Twilight at the wedding rehearsal?". ", "And anyway, that's what friends do!" Interestingly enough, neither Granny Smith nor Big Mac were anywhere to be seen, but that mattered little to Applejack. Can you take care of things here?". Cadance was about to speak, but her train of thought instantly derailed. She will be painted matte white and Celestia themed. Applejack stopped eating. What awaited himself and Twilight now was a long ride home. They really had gone too far in their treatment of her. She must know that her resignation spells doom for Equestria and life as we know it". Although taken aback, Shining settled into his role, doing his best to soothe the tormented alicorn. Luna was dismayed. ", "You too Cady, thanks for coming. The only question that lingered, however, was how long would that loyalty last? With the defeat of the princesses, the pegasi and unicorns will then exit the castle through the main entrance and over the walls, so as to engage the Royal Guards from behind.
