Chapters Solar Child: Burden of the Crown
"Do I really need to wear the dress?" asked Rainbow as Twilight helped her into Rainbow's dress she wore for the coronation.
"Sadly, yes. The nobles are very picky, as well as pricks, and you need to impress them more than Luna does. I would much prefer you in that saddle I keep in the closet but they seem to charge us with public indecency." said Twilight as she finished tying the laces. "Though, nothing is wrong with us using it later tonight." She giggled as Rainbow turned a deep crimson.
"How is it that I chose the naughty librarian that happens to be a princess?" asked Rainbow, a smirk on her face. Twilight leaned forward and kissed her.
"You just know how to pick them."
"My parents will be saying the same, along with 'Why the buck have you not told us our future daughter in law is the princess of Equestria?'" said Rainbow, using a mock voice of her mother. Twilight giggled and kissed her on her cheek.
"I will just have to be convincing then. Though I think it's a good thing we have an ambulance at the ready. We don't need any heart attacks from parents finding out that their daughter was engaged to one of the princesses on top of learning that two of them are dating each other."
"My parents should be alright, I hope. We just have to hope we don't have a mob. Thankfully the girls are here to help."
"They need to know too."
"True." Rainbow looked up at the clock and sighed as she saw that it was almost time. "Let's just hope we can make it through this possible shit storm." Twilight smiled warmly at her.
"Don't worry. We will get through this." Her smile faded a little. "Though I think we may have to banish a certain noble by the end of the day."

Celestia stood with Luna, waiting for all the reporters to be seated in the hall. She scanned the crowd and sighed. She hasn't been this nervous since the coronation. But now she was coming out with the fact that she is dating the mare everyone thought as her sister and is engaged to her. She couldn't wait to see their reaction when she walks in after a few months with an enlarged belly.
"All this stress is starting to make me feel old and I'm an alicorn." she said as she turned to her fiancé,
"I think it's because we are old. Your daughter will feel the same." said Luna with a smirk. She looked over the crowd and spotted the nobles off to the side. "Though I'm not excited to deal with the nobles."
"I agree." said Celestia as she turned her attention to Blueblood. The snobby prince kept his head high and had an expression that screamed he had a silver spoon up is ass. "I'm not excited to listen to my 'nephew' yell at me and demand this to be some sort of twisted joke we all decided to play."
"If this is a joke then I must be the goddess of jokes then goddess of night." said Luna with a snort. Celestia sighed.
"They're ready. Lets get this over with." Celestia motioned for Twilight and Rainbow to follow them. Upon seeing the three princesses, the crowd went into an respective silence. Whispers soon drifted as ponies took notice to Rainbow stood back behind Twilight. She kept her confident form but was internally fighting back the urge to crawl away.
"Filly's and Gentlecolts, we have called this press meeting to correct some 'facts' that ponies of today believe. Firstly is the relationship between me and Princess Luna. I still don't why ponies think this, but me and Luna are not sisters." This was met with whispers and the scratching of quills. "Five hundred years before Nightmare Moon, me and Luna met in an orphanage where we became close enough to be called sisters. We were them adopted by an alicorn that ruled before us, making us sisters in a sense.
"Two hundred years later, she died of a disease only alicorns are vulnerable to. We were then just best friends that ruled though ponies still believed us to be sisters. Twenty years later, me and Luna did something that has never been told publicly before. We dated." There was a loud audible gasp along with a very loud "What?!" from Blueblood. Celestia resisted the urge to roll her eyes at the prince.
"We have rekindled this after Luna's banishment and now after three years we are proudly engaged." This was met with much muttering. "Now I will turn the spot over to my daughter." She stepped back to let Twilight make her speech. She glanced back at Rainbow who nodded slightly.
"Over the past year, I myself have found a special somepony. We have been through a lot, one of the times including my rise to the crown. She has been with me every time I needed her." She took an intake of breath to collect herself. The next part will change the full out look of the royal family. "I am proudly engaged to Rainbow Dash, the element of Loyalty." Muttering and another shout from Blueblood filled the room.
"Oh, this will be fun." muttered Rainbow Dash.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
"I demand this to simply be a joke!" shouted Blueblood, slamming his hoof on the marble flooring. The white unicorn stallion was not accepting the idea and it was amazing that none of the princesses threw him out of the throne room.
"It's not a joke. I can give you the tape for three hundred bits." said Luna.
"Why three hundred bits?" asked Rainbow who sat next to her fiancé.
"Two reasons. One, it includes princesses. Two, extra content not appropriate for foals." replied Luna with a smirk. Her and Rainbow shared a small laugh. "No, they actually are real."
"I'm going to need a copy for science."
"When were you interested in science?"
"When it became a sex tape."
"Can we get back to listening to my cousin bitch so we can get on with our day?" asked Twilight, fed up with her cousin's bickering since he walked into the room.
"Fine." grumbled Rainbow, crossing her hooves.
"I can't believe you picked a dirty commoner like her." said Blueblood, glaring at Rainbow in disgust.
"I can choose who I want. There is no law that states that I need to marry nobility. I checked. Twice." said Twilight, keeping her composure despite the remark.
"And what about you, auntie? It says in the Celestian Bible that you hate filly foolers!"
"Ninty percent of the stuff in that book is fake. I never once said that in my life. I believe I made that clear in the meeting." said Celestia, glaring at the prince. The stubborn stallion kept his ground and continued to build a pyramid over his grave.
"Filly foolers are the scum of the earth and yet you accept it and become one!"
"I'm sorry if you weren't aware but Twilight has no father, only mothers. I have not once slept with a stallion. Your sources need work."
"I refuse to accept that my own aunt and cousin are filly foolers and sleep soundly knowing they rule this country." said the stallion, raising his head in defiance.
"Fine. For defying the crown you are here by arrested and sentenced to five months in public prison." said Celestia. She beckoned for the guards.
"What?! You can't do that!" shouted the stallion as he was chained.
"Yes I can. You perfectly stated that you will defy me. For that its usually three years but knowing how full of yourself you are I will give you only five months in public. They will simply love you there." said Celestia with a smirk. The stallion was dragged out, screaming and whining as he was brought down to the public prison.
"Finally. I can't believe he is my cousin." moaned Twilight, sinking into the throne.
"Yes, well, when I took on him and Cadence, he was so easy to handle and was nowhere as much of a pain as he is now." said Celestia, leaning into Luna for comfort.
"I remember when he was nice for once." Cadence walked into throne room with a smile on her face.
"Cadence!" shouted Twilight. She jumped up and ran up to her. "Sunshine Sunshine, Ladybugs awake. Clap your hooves and do a little shake!" Te two finished and embraced, giggling the whole while.
"I think it got easier when we became the same height." said Cadence, laughing as the two broke apart. "And congrats to both you and Rainbow Dash." She looked past Twilight and up to Celestia and Luna. "Same to you two."
"Thank you, Cadence. Sometimes it's hard to believe you are even remotely related to Blueblood." said Celestia as the pink alicorn walked towards them
"Yes, well, I can't change that. Kinda stuck with him." She looked back at her wings. "Well, for another eighty years, that is. Unless he finds a alicorn of his own, I'll out live him."
"Kinda of the reason why I wanted to marry Rainbow. Not exactly found of losing her in another eighty years." said Twilight, nuzzling her fiancé and giving her a peck on the cheek as she sat down. Rainbow turned a shade of crimson, causing the other mares in the room to giggle.
"Well, the others are already waiting for us in the dining hall." said Cadence as she turned around and began to lead then. The others stood and followed.

Edited first. Any errors? Well tough shit, I don't catch everything. Anyways, Blueblood makes an appearance and dug his own grave and added a pyramid on top. Little bastard. The sunshine song that Cadence and Twilight do is owned by Hasbro.
Solar Child: Burden of the Crown
Chapter Four: A New Alicorn
Twilight and Rainbow were woken from their slumber by high pitched screaming. Twilight jumped out of the bed and ran to the room next door while Rainbow laid back down while rubbing her temples. She chuckled lightly as it was almost the same way Twilight's seals broke. All the way down to the magic making her wings tingle.
In the next room, Twilight sat next to Trixie for comfort as the azure mare twisted and screamed as she grew to her size and earned a pair of wings. She could feel the raw magic that poured from the mare's horn as the seals to her magical reserve broke, sending it all to her horn. From expirence, Twilight knew Trixie would have one hell of a headache in the morning.
She finally stopped screaming, sending the room into a loud silence. The only sound was of Trixie's heavy breathing as the alicorn mare tried to catch her breath. Twilight took this moment to look her over.
She stood about the same height as her. Her horn was at the same length as well. The only difference was the smaller wings that she more then likely adopted from her mother. The mare's mane also grew, having it fit to her larger figure. It flowed around her as she laid there panting.
"It's scary how this scene looks exactly like when my seals broke. Though I won't do what Rainbow did." said Twilight, shaking her head.
"What did she do?" asked Trixie, lifting her head off the bed slightly.
"I may have told the ponies that were trying to break into our room that we were having sex and Twilight may have gotten a little loud when she came." said Rainbow, walking into the room. Both Trixie and Twilight blushed at the comment, causing Rainbow to fall over laughing.
"You know damn well I am not that loud." said Twilight, glaring at her fiancé.
"TMI, you two. I don't need to hear about your sex life." moaned Trixie, covering her ears.
"Oh come on, Twilight pulls off the naughty librarian very well." Rainbow laughed as a pillow wrapped in a magenta glow impacted her face, Trixie glared at her.
"Fuck. You."
"That's Twi's job." said Rainbow with a smirk. Trixie groaned and fell back on the bed.
"I have too bad of a headache to deal with this." she said. Twilight stood and moved to the door.
"Then we will leave you to your sleep. I will start planning the coronation in the morning." With that, the couple left, leaving a very exhausted azure alicorn to sleep.
_______________________________________________________________________________________
"She isn't up yet?" asked Celestia when they entered the dining hall. Her and Luna were already waiting for them. Twilight shook her head.
"She woke up in the middle of the night, screaming because her body and head felt like they were on fire. I was dead to the world for twelve hours before I got up." said Twilight, sitting down next to them. "Give her a few hours and whip her up a nice brunch and the best remedy for hangovers we have."
"Why would she need something for hangovers?" asked Luna, wondering why her daughter needed such a thing.
"Her magical seal broke, Luna. One of the things being held bak was magic and it rushes to the horn once released. It gives you a headache to rival the worst of hangovers. I think the first thing I did when I woke up was puke. Rainbow heard probably over a thousand 'I'm sorry's that day." she said.
"That's what I get for standing next to the bed to make sure you were okay." said Rainbow, shaking her head at the memory. "Took me hours to get the smell out of my fur."
"Good thing she has marble flooring and not a pony to throw up on." said Celestia with a chuckle. "At least the effects are temporary."
"Yeah, but they are a pain in the ass for the whole day. I couldn't operate my whole entire birthday. I had to celebrate it the next day." grumbled Twilight. She sighed and brought out a quill and parchment. "Well, I got quite the list to do." She paused at the first check box and face hoofed. "Sorry, babe, you get to do some royal buisness."
"It can't be that bad." said Rainbow, shrugging.
"You got to go manor to manor and invite nobles." she said. Rainbow just waved it off. "Formally." She froze, wide eyed.
"Oh fuck."
"I thought you would say that. Now here is the list of names." said Twilight, pulling out a long list of names.
"Why can't I get one of the maids to do it?" she whined. Twilight shook her head and thruster the list in her face.
"It has to be done formally. Now it won't be that bad, Blueblood is in prison currently so most of the nobility shouldn't bother you too much. Besides, Fancy Pants is first." said Twilight.
"Fine." said Rainbow as she took the parchment in her mouth. "But you are going to pay me back for it."
"I do that almost every night so it wouldn't do much." said Twilight, focusing on her coffee. Rainbow snorted and flew off.
"She seemed rather excited for the task, don't you think?" said Celestia with a smirk. Twilight rolled her eyes.
"She was absolutely ecstatic. She is hopping around like a little school filly at a candy store right now." she said, biting down on a piece of toast. "She sometimes forgets she is in a relationship with royalty and has to do the more formal affairs with me. I'll be surprised she will survive our marriage."
"Well she loves you enough to not give a shit, that is for sure. I think the only reason she didn't want to go was because it was t for you." said Luna, picking up the Equestria Daily in her magic.
"It's funny how she says she doesn't do 'sappy' things yet can be romantic a lot of the time." said Twilight with a shake of her head.
"So is this a relationship where she is the romantic one and you're the naughty librarian?" said Celestia, smirking.
"Maybe." said Twilight, blushing. Celestia and Luna laughed, causing her to turn a deeper shade of crimson.
"Ugh, stop laughing, my head hurts too much." They turned around to see Trixie walking into the room, rubbing her temple. Her long mane was anything but regal as it sat like a birds nest on her head. Her tail was equally messy.
"10:30. She beat my record by two hours." said Twilight with a pout.
"Sue me. Where is Rainbow?" said Trixie, sitting down and levitating the entire pitcher of coffee over to her. She poured an entire cup and started to drink it eagerly.
"Doing your favorite job, inviting nobles." said Twilight, levitating a plate of food to her. She nodded her thanks and dug in.
"Fuck this headache is going to kill me." said Trixie, putting her head in her hooves.
"If you were a mortal, then it would have already." said Luna. Trixie stared at her with one eye.
"So you mean to tell me if I wasn't a full blown alicorn, the seal would have killed me?"
"No. The release of magic would of. If great enough, the magic unleashed could melt a unicorns brain. A nasty sight." said Luna, shaking her head.
"You scare me, mother." said Trixie. Luna beamed and nuzzled her.
"It's my job to scare you as well as embaress you." she said, grinning.
"Coming from the goddess of the night, I'm fucked." said Trixie. She put her head in her hooves as the others laughed. She cursed then for being so loud while she had a headache.

Solar Child: Burden of the Crown
Chapter Five: From the ashes
Blueblood sat inside the barred cell in Block C, a key operated magic suppressor on his horn. He wore a orange prison suit over his white coat, his mane falling limp without his products.
He was sitting in the fetal position, memories from last night's shower present in his mind. Celestia was right when she said that they would love him in there, he just wasn't expecting that kind of love. He learned one thing, however. NEVER drop the soap unless you want to be punished by the 'health inspector'.
He shivered as he remembered the towering stallion. He was large, in more ways than one, and was forceful when needed to be, that much he learned. Blueblood always imagined losing his virginity to a beautiful mare, not a large stallion in prison.
There was a tapping on his cell bars. Blueblood slowly raised his head, his ears still pressed against his head. A guards pony wearing a blue uniform was standing out side the cell, motioning for him to step forward.
"Lucky day, Blueblood. You seem to have a visitor and this one seems to not want to pummel you." said the guard, attaching shackles around his legs. Blueblood grunted as he waited for the door opened, stepping out once it was. On the way, he couldn't help but over-hear the guards conversing.
"Did you hear Trixie, Princess Luna's daughter, turned last night. I heard her coronation is next week." said one, lifting a cup of coffee to his muzzle as he leaned back in the chair.
"Well shit, good for her. From what I heard she had a shitty life until Luna finally found her again." said one guard, leaning back against the counter in the guards booth. The one in the chair next him nodded.
"Goes to show there is a silver lining somewhere in our lives." he said, taking another sip. Blueblood snorted. He felt his anger rise about how a low life like her could rise into alicorn hood and be yet another princess. It went to show more how corrupted their rulers were. He like nothing more to watch them fall.
"Last booth." said the guard as he brought him into the visitor area. Blueblood grunted and walked over to said booth on the far end. Waiting for him was a dark blue mare, her red hair falling over her cyan eyes. She picked up the phone like device on the otherside of the reinforced glass as he sat down. Blueblood followed motion.
"Who are you?" he asked, leaning forward. The mare kept a emotionless face.
"Not much of your concern. I came her with a propisition." she said. She rustled her wings, now just coming to his attention. Blueblood looked back over his shoulder, seeing the guard talking to another on the otherside of the room. He turned back to her.
"What is it?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.
"A chance to bring down one the greatest treats to Equestria, the royal family." she said. Blueblood relaxed I. His seat and waved a hoof at her.
"I'm listening."
"The AntiCelestia has been disbanded for eleven years following our failed attempt at killing Twilight Solar. We are slowly getting back together, but we need a leader. Preferably one who knows the daily lives of the family very well." she said with a smirk. Blueblood gave an evil grin, chuckling.
"Very well. But unless you expect me to run the group from inside a prison cell, you're going to have to get me out. I don't feel like five years of staying her especially after last nights shower." He visibly shuddered. The mare nodded.
"Very well. Go back to your cell and once the guard leaves, get under the bed and brace yourself." He nodded and put the phone back in its holder and stood. The guard saw him and guided him back to his cell.
Once inside his cell and was un cuffed, Blueblood waited for the guard to leave before diving under the bed, putting his hooves over his head. A resounding bang followed along with shouting.
Blueblood kept under the cover of the bed as he listened to the screams of the guards and what sounded like the tearing of flesh. He didn't know what the mare was doing to get him out but he wasn't exactly to keen on finding out for himself.
The sounds soon came from his cell block, making him shrink back. He jumped as he saw the body of a guard fly past his cell, the only thing it was missing was the head.
He yelped as a dark blue dragon with red spines entered his vision, standing in front of his cell. It's blood stained claws gripped the cell door and ripped it off its frame, throwing it at oncoming guards.
"Come with me, Sir Blueblood." said the dragon. Blueblood's eyes widened as he realized it was the voice of the mare. The dragon WAS the mare. He slowly came out of from under the bed and walked up to the dragon, who grabbed him and held him close as she dashed out of the prison.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
"Almost there." said Twilight, watching the last of the crates get brought into the ball room for the after coronation party. The throne room itself was to be shut down the day before to get set up. The same happened for her coronation and the same was to happen to her sister-in-law. The morning was seemingly quiet.
"Princess Solar! News on Blueblood!" shouted a guard as he ran into the ball room. It was quiet. Blueblood's sentence was being handled by Twilight herself. Any news to complications were brought to her. With a sigh, she turned around to address the guard.
"I told you, I don't need to be informed every time he is raped in the shower." she said as the guard reached her, out of breath.
"It's not that, Ma'am. This morning, there was an attack on the Canterlot State Prison. There were heavy casualties and only one escape and it seems to be Blueblood." Twilight stared at him, her jaw hanging open. She put a hoof on her temple and rubbed it.
"And during the week when everything is the most hectic. Alright, do we have any idea what the suspect looks like?" she asked, walking towards the door to go to her study.
"Well you should know what he looks like, you did live with him." Hoof connected perfectly with face and created a very majestic face hoof.
"Not Blueblood, the pony who waltzed in, murdered the guards, and waltzed out with former nobility." she said, fixing a stern glare at the guard. He smiled sheepishly.
"Well, um, he had a visitor, a dark blue mare with a blood red mane, her cutie mark was of an emblazed sword. It was a normal meeting, that was until shortly after Blueblood left she turned into a dragon and busted through the booths." said the guard, putting a hoof on his chin as he recalled the description. Twilight nearly fell over.
"Wait, she TURNED into a DRAGON?!" she asked, making the guard jump at the loudness of her voice.
"Um, yes. She went through the mandatory procedures when entering so she was proven not to be a changeling. As for how she did it, either some very powerful magic or a miscalculated spell. We are still figuring that part out." Twilight groaned in frustration.
"Fine. Fetch my mothers, Trixie, and My fiancé, I need to confront them with this." The guard nodded and trotted off. She sighed and walked into the circular room that was her study. The door off to the side leading into her personal library that was a little larger than the entire Golden Oaks Library.
She sat at the desk and brought out the file for Blueblood. She looked over his sentence a few times before putting it back. She then opened up another drawer and pulled out two thick folders. One labeled most dangerous, the other accidental transformations. She made sure to keep tabs on anything that could seem as a threat to her ponies.
She first started in the 'Accidental Tramsformations' folder, picking through the files in search for the mare that broke into the prison. She soon found the same mare but was surprised to see her in a Guard's uniform.
"Oh sweet mother of Faust. Please don't tell it's them." she said as she scanned the paper. Her name was Blazing Sword, weirdly enough it being a Stallions name. She was ex-guard and was assistant to the Captain before her brother, but obviously after her mother.
She was dishonorly discharged after aggressive mood swings that led to what she claimed as the 'accidental death' to a fellow guard. The rest of her profile was in the other folder on her desk, taking Twilight by suprise. She put the thought aside and continued.
Her 'unique' form was brought on during a raid of a illegal lab. She managed to get exposed to a vat of expiremental chemicals. In resultant, her dragon form. The rest of the samples were destroyed in the raid so there was no way to know how it happened or to reverse it.
With her form out of the way, Twilight picked out the second file. This one adorning a regular picture of Blazing. From what it was said, she was very lucky to get as high as she did, due to the fact of reports of her having contacts to the AC, or AntiCelestia group.
The reports were put aside due to her position and how unlikely it was. She was discharged only a few days after Twilight's faked death. For Twilight, this rang her internal alarms. Obviously, she was hiding her connections, a safeguard to herself.
Twilight sighed and put the files to the side, placing her head in her hooves. Out of all the idiots to take Blueblood it had to be the same group who had a very violent history with the Royal Family and would like no better to see each member dead. Blueblood was an exception since he was't related to the family blood wise and had a same hate especially after his imprisonment.
"Fuck my life." she said, letting her head drop on the table.
"I wouldn't let anything like that happen." Twilight looked up to see her mother and the others walking into the room. She gave a small smile as they sat down.
"Sorry, Trixie. You aren't even crowned and we have a very large crisis on our hooves to take care of." said Twilight, leaning back a bit.
"And what would this crisis be?" asked Luna, leaning forward slightly.
"Blueblood was freed early this morning. From what I heard, they will be mopping blood off the floors for awhile and C Block is going to need a shit load of bricks." said Twilight. She pushed forward the files. "Blazing Sword. Despite the masculine name, she's female. Ex-guard by the records.
"She was as close to the top without being captain but was dishonorably discharged after an 'accident' that killed another guard. Her being at its center. She is also rather, unique." She tapped the transformation sheet a few times. "Very unique. Lastly, and this is what makes this a national crisis, she has ties with the same group hell bent on seeing us dead."
"The AC? Didn't I hang them and personally mutilate there leader?" asked Celestia, rubbing a hoof on her temple.
"What's the AC?" asked Rainbow and Trixie at the same time.
"The idiots who tried to overthrow Tia through Twilight and almost mounted her head on a stake. AC stands for AntiCelestia, though they haven't been a big fan of the Royal Family in general and me and Trixie fit into it now, same as you, Rainbow. We all have a beautiful target on our heads." said Luna.
"And considering they have a mutant that has a knack on taking things apart, this makes things a buy more difficult." said Twilight.
"But we have four of the most powerful alicorns in one room! Shouldn't we be able to take them down without a sweat?" asked Rainbow. Celestia sighed and shook her head.
"No. We all have weaknesses and ours are displayed. Me and Luna have our daughters, Trixie her family, Twilight her fiancé and family, and you, Twilight." she said, a grim tone in her voice. "If we are not careful, one of us will be used for the others."
"Good thing you guys didn't use the spells yet." said Trixie, sighing in relief. However, the anxious looks coming from the other four in the room brought the stress back. "You didn't."
"We were all in a good mood, and we didn't know the AC was coming back. By now, Rainbow and I are already pregnant." said Celestia with a sigh.
"Well fuck."
"Exactly." said Twilight.
Author's Note
Septic, meet fan, fan, meet septic. I know you two will be very close. (Very close indeed. Heh heh heh.) Damn, I scare me. Anyways, Blueblood joins the dreaded and absolutely insane AC. A blood bath will ensue for sure. Also, see if you can catch the Boondocks quote I so willingly inserted for all you Bluebitch haters. Onto the next chapter, whenever I write that.
Solar Child: Burden of the Crown
Chapter Six: Wedding plans
Twilight cradled her head in her hooves. She had piles of things that needed to be done and a small window to do so. She had to plan a duel wedding with the other three brides, keep tabs on the search efforts for Blueblood and the AC, prepare what was need for the two four month pregnant mares when they gave birth, and run a court every now and then. It was taxing for the normally organized mare.
She levitated the mug of hard cider, a common company to her lately, to her mouth and took a swig. She had three weeks to finish preperations for the wedding and she wasn't any farther than when she started. Groaning, she face planted her desk with a wonderful thud.
"Finally give in and going to let me plan the wedding?" asked the recently crowned Trixie. Even after four months, the azure mare still had to get used to being called Princess Lulamoon.
"Fine! Just take over before my brain overloads! You are lucking there aren't as many meetings in the evening." said Twilight, pushing the offending wedding forms away from her. Trixie smiled.
"Well, I won't let you down." Her smile faded. "Anything on Blueblood and the AC?"
"Not so much as a mouse fart. Whatever they are doing, they are being extremely. I think the last two slaughters actually taught them something. A tiny bit, at least." said Twilight with a sigh.
"Do mice actually fart?" asked Trixie, going completely off topic.
"I don't know. Ask Fluttershy, maybe? She could probably tell you the whole process in great detail." said Twilight, leaning back in exhaustion. "Well, the Blueblood matter is something I can let run idle with our detectives right now. As for trying to set up for two foals and two VERY moody mares, that's a whole different story. We got two rooms fairly close to each of ours being cleaned out and furnished for foals. By the time they give birth, it should be set."
"As long as I get a cute niece and sister." said Trixie with a shrug.
"How do you know that they will be filly's?"
"I don't, but this family has a thing for filly alicorns and looking absolutely adorable."
"We also have a thing for corrupted antigovernment groups and demon induced slaughter. Our family is just insane but we seem to get by with ease." said Twilight, standing up and heading for the door. Trixie followed, wedding forms floating behind her.
"As for what I've got done so far, we're thinking of the wedding in the ball room with an outside reception. We are going to pull a few strings to have a cloudless day and night with a nice, warm temp." said Twilight, walking down the halls. "If you can work around with that, that would be awesome." Trixie nodded.
"I will see what I can do. It shouldn't be too much of a problem." she said, smiling at her sister. Twilight leaned over and embraced her.
"Thank you, Trix. You don't know how much this means to the four of us."
"Don't worry, Twi. Just promise you'll help me find a nice mare myself one of these days."
"Another thing this family has. Only Cadence is straight." The two laughed. "Oh, and speaking of Cadence, we kinda found a certain changeling last night." said Twilight, her smile dropping.
"Why would Chrysalis come here?" asked Trixie.
"Looking for refuge. She was dethroned from her hive and when we found her she was beaten and starved about a mile from Canterlot, she was crawling the whole way." answered Twilight.
"That far while crawling? She must have been desperate." said Trixie.
"Look, I know its a lot, but could you take this case? We can't put Shining or Cadence on it since they were target of the attack two years ago and the four of us are trying to get ready for a wedding so we don't need the extra stress."
"I'll see what I can do." said Trixie with the nod of her head. "Who knows, we could end up reforming her. We succeeded in reforming a god of chaos and he started a whole entire war that lasted Faust knows how long. She caused one battle that had absolutely no deaths."
"I see your point. I'll check with the others and see if we should try it. If so, then you get the beautiful task of taking care of a former changeling queen." said Twilight with a smile, thankful that Trixie was willing to help out so much. It was moments like these she couldn't believe she used to act as a boastful showmare.
"Well, I'll let you to check out the ball room. Chrysalis is down in the dungeons if you want to see her. In the meanwhile, me and my mother have a few bills to work out along with a mountain of other paperwork." said Twilight. With that, she left towards her mothers study.
Trixie looked in the direction of the ball room then to the dungeons. She sighed and walked towards the darkened dungeons just below Canterlot Castle. The trip took the better part of twenty minutes before she reached the gates.
"I'm here to look into the case of former queen, Chrysalis." said Trixie as she approached the guards. His horn lighted for a brief moment before opening the gate for her.
"Of course, Princess Lulamoon. She is in cell A4" he said with a bow. She nodded to him and continued onward. She walked down the hall and took a left, leading her to cells A1-A10. She remembered one of the days she was learning the procedures that she had to memorize the dungeon layout. This proved helpful as she stopped in front of cell A4, a solid wooden door with bars installed to allow view inside.
The black body of Chrysalis laid on the cobblestone floor, her back to Trixie. Bands kept her wings to her sides and a ring on her horn prevented any unwanted magic and, so far, transforming. She didn't know how much of that was true, but none the less opened the door.
The sound of the lock clicking open alerted the black mare, causing her to sit upright, rigid as a board. Trixie hesitated at the movement before continuing. She levitated a chair from the hall and placed it in the corner before closing the door behind her.
"Good morning, Chrysals. I'm Princess Lulamoon, if you were not aware. I'm the one to be investigating your case." said Trixie as she sat down. Chrysalis leaned forward and growled.
"I know very well that you're not going to listen and keep me in here as long as you want! What's the point in talking if you won't listen?!" snapped the former queen. Trixie raised an eyebrow at her.
"Chrysalis, may I ask why you are yelling at the wall?" she asked, slightly concerned. Chrysalis cocked her head, twitching her ear as she picked up her voice. She turned towards Trixie, causing her to cry out.
Chrysalis' left eye was a sickly purple with a scar over it while the right was pure red with a blackish rupture in the center. She was utterly blind and she had no doubt in pain.
"H-how..."
"You are an easy prey when you are weak and starved. I was able to escape but of course not without a price." said Chrysalis with a sigh. "By now I should be healed and have perfect 20/20, but as was said, I'm starved and I can't work healing magic when I have no love to feed on."
"Well, there has to be something." said Trixie, putting a hoof to her chin. Her eyes lit for a second and she grinned. "Tell me, do you feed off of the mere presence of love, or the contact? Or perhaps both?" asked Trixie, grinning.
"Both. If the love is directed at the pony I'm playing as it is powerful, if it is directed to so,pony else but I happen to be nearby, I can eat it but it won't be as filling. Kissing and sex is extremely filling but not common too much. Why?" said Chrysalis.
"Oh, I just had an idea." Chrysalis was about to ask what it was when a pair of lips cut her off, drowning her in love. Her mutilated eyes widened before rolling back in a mixture of bliss and the feeling off being fed large quantities of love. She gasped as Trixie pulled away and stood.
"I plan on trying to reform you, actually. For this to work, I need you alive and well, able to see, and willing to cooperate. Hopefully you will. Now, I got a duel wedding to plan so I will leave you to heal. I will stop by tonight to check on you." Chrysalis' sight was already returning as she opened the door. She saw a large azure shape walk out the door and close it behind her.
She smiled, still high off the large amount of love. Her brain didn't want to try and wonder why the princess did what she did. For now, she was going to lie down and let her vision return all with a full stomach. Trixie may have not completely known, but she willingly saved a changeling.

Wait. *sniff sniff* Is that a shipping I smell? I think it is. (Trixalis. Fuck yes!) Hey, give it a few chapters so we can see if this is an actual ship. If so, it's a nice side plot going on, I have to say. A few chapters and we get a duel wedding, which I'm nervous about. I'm not exactly expert on writing weddings. (Oh well, we will just pull this out our ass and see how it goes." Considering it's coming out of our ass, god help us. (Meh)
Solar Child: Burden of the Crown
The four goddesses of Equestria and Rainbow sat in the dining hall, Trixie having a good amount of papers I front of her. She sighed and set the wedding papers aside and directed her attention to her plate of food. She sighed as she stared at the crisp daisies.
"You know, when I went to see Chrysalis, I expected a few cuts and bruises, not to life changing injuries that took away her sight." she moaned as she massaged her temples. Luna looked at her concerned.
"You worried?"
"No. If what she says is correct, she should recover in no time. It's just that...who would let her go through that? Who would let her die in such a horrible way?" said Trixie, flailing her hooves in the air. She had plenty of close calls in her time and plenty how completely hated her, but never to the point where she would be left to die.
"I can't exactly give too much pity, sadly to say. We don't know the reason behind her banishment from her hive so we don't know how much she deserves it, if at all." said Celestia, lifting a glass of tea to her lips. "We can only listen to what she says." Trixie nodded slowly.
"Well, I might as well talk to her as well as try to set up a plan with her to help her reform. This is going to be long night." she said as she got up and left. Luna watched her go with a little concern.
"I'm still a little worried." said Luna. Celestia wrapped a wing around her for comfort.
"We all are but this is her choice and she must do it alone. Just have faith."
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Trixie nodded to the guard as she passed through the dungeon gates and made her way down to cell A4. She smiled as she remembered the look of shock and slight bliss after Chrysalis had her 'meal'. While she wanted answers on how she was banished, she also wanted to sate her curiosity on changelings and now was a prime time to do so.
Chrysalis sat up on her bed at the sound of the lock clicking. Now being able to see, she turned to see a azure alicorn as tall as Princess Luna walk in. Her mane and tail a light blue and silver that flowed over her shoulders. Chrysalis found herself staring at the mare, her heart racing a bit. She silently cursed the organ and collected herself,
"Well, let's get my questions out of the way so I can give you your meal for the evening." said Trixie as she sat down on the chair in front of her.
"Miss Lul-"
"Just call me Trixie. I just started this Princess thing a few months ago and I still can't get used to this whole Princess Luluamoon thing." said Trixie with a wave of her hoof. Chrysalis stared at her for a minute.
"Well, um, Miss Trixie, I'm sorry for my earlier behavior and I must thank you for saving my life, earlier today. You have no idea how close to death I was." said Chrysalis. She still had no idea what to think about being so close to a pony in her true form. She always thought of them as food, but this one saved her and willingly kissed her and didn't mind. It started to change her whole logic on the race.
"Well, we are getting there. Just stop calling me 'Miss'. And you are welcome. I couldn't sit her while you starved to death and were completely blind." said Trixie with a genuine smile that sped Chrysalis' heart rate. She yelled at the organ a second time, asking for the meaning behind its behaviour. Sadly, the organ refused to reveal it tactics. "How is your sight, by the way?"
"Oh, um, fine. I can see you, for a change. Hopefully my eyes are back to their normal state." said Chrysalis with a small smile. Her eyes were, in fact, back to their original green color. Trixie found herself staring into her eyes before a holed hoof in front of her face broke her out of her trance. She coughed lightly, blushing.
"They look beautiful. I mean fine! They look just fine!" said Trixie. The two sat there, staring at the floor each with a massive plush on their faces. "Anyways." she said, clearing her throat. "I came her to get some more information on why you were banished as well as some questions on the changeling race. It's rare for one to be seen so you can understand how...non-informed we are of the race.
"Now, why were you banished from your, hive I presume?" she asked, pulling out a notebook and quill from who knows where.
"Well." sh started, staring at the ground and her ears splaying back. "The invasion was a desperate attempt at food. Are stores were destroyed in a cave in, leaving us with a very small emergency supply and we needed to resupply and fast. Equestria was the best option and we were lucky to have the royal wedding so close. That was our target, get as much as we could from it.
"Of course, it didn't go as planned and I had to resource to more...forceful measures. Looking back on it, I should have just asked for help but when you have an entire race begging for food and your own hunger eating at you, you can't seem to think straight.
"After the failure, we came home to barely enough food left. In the outrage and riots, I was blamed for making them go there, using up a decent size of food supply to just get us there. I was overthrown as a result and you can figure out the rest."
"And this all happened two years ago?" asked Trixie. To her amazement, Chrysalis nodded. "You mean, you have been blind, starving, and beaten for TWO YEARS?!" Chrysalis looked away and nodded. Trixie sighed and rubbed her temples.
"I hate that a pony, changeling or not, had to go through this under my nose. If I have known, I could have used my power and saved you but I didn't. Oh well, can't dwell on the past." She sighed and sat up. "Now, about those other questions..." For the next three hours, Chrysalis explained the eating habits of changelings, the hives functions, and oddly enough, their reproduction system.
Changelings did not feed off only love but it was the most filling. After awhile, they could only eat one emotion after having enough of it over a stretch of time. Chrysalis' hive, one of many, fed mostly on love thus making it their primary food source. Chrysalis said it was a chain of events that led to it.
The hive was also an interesting matter. Each had their own job in the hive to keep it going. A elite army, a large gathering team, a decent nursing staff for all newborns and whatever injuries may come, and the royal staff that kept the affairs running smoothly enough. If it wasn't for the gatherers and insect creatures, it might of as well been a small Equestria.
Against whatever rumors were out there, changelings gave birth individually, not via eggs from the queen. They looked like insects but weren't exactly like them in every way. It was possible for cross species birth but the mother, if changeling, had to stay in either changeling or pony form or the foal would die in the womb since it can't adapt to the change in environment.
Trixie chuckled at herself as she realized she looked like Twilight as she drank every bit of information with enthusiasm, a goofy grin on her face as her quill moved at incredible speeds. Chrysalis also seemed to enjoy the company and the freedom of judgement from the mare.
With a final flourish of her quill, Trixie finished off her notes as Chrysalis ended her explanation. She gave a small yawn, start hinge out her wing muscles. She got satisfying pops from both her back and wings, causing her to sigh in relief.
"Well, I think that could settle some fears ponies have of changelings." said Trixie as she looked the notepad over. The three hundred page booklet was filled from every page with information. Trixie was impressed with the feat and smiled.
"Final topic before your evening meal is your reform. Now, for this reform you will be let out of the cell but you will be tethered to a certain point, this point is movable, that won't let you go to far. This point is magical for safety reasons of course. You will still have to keep the ring on and will be monitored by somepony at all times." Chrysalis payed full attention as Trixie explained, not really caring that she was not allowed to do too much.
"You will also be following me around for this period. Helping me where needed and learning how to properly behave in pony life without the use of a disguise." said Trixie. This really got Chrysalis' attention.
"But I'm still hated more than likely! I did take down Celestia and imprison a whole entire castle, I will not be taken kindly." she said, worried about what might happen the moment she is seen.
"That's why you are with me. They will not dare try anything with a Princess around and you will have guards in my absence. I am making sure you are safe your entire reform." She stood and opened the door. "Now follow me. I have to show you to your chambers." Chrysalis hesitantly followed the azure alicorn, still weary of the whole idea.
After awhile they came to a quest room on the third floor in the living wing. The room was large with a alicorn sized bed in the center. It could have been fit for either on of the princesses that lived in the castle. She gave Trixie a questioning look, recieving a warm smile in return.
"You are still royalty in a way. It is not fair for us to be sleeping in rooms such as ours and have you sleep in a bed that barely fits you and a room too common. Though, in all honesty, I would have given the room to anyone." said Trixie. Something about the mare warmed Chrysalis. Maybe it was her kind and warming personality, her want to help anypony no matter the cost, or just her soothing voice, but Chrysalis couldn't help but feel calm when she was around Trixie.
"Another thing, I am right next door. A way for me to keep an eye on you." Chrysalis stared wide eyed at her. It took Trixie a few moments to figure out why she reacted that way. "It's not like I'm going to stare at you in your sleep! It's just so it's harder for you to try anything. Now, I guess I should feed you." Trixie stepped forward. Chrysalis sat on the bed, remembering how she almost fell over last time.
As their lips connected for a second time, Chrysalis could sense something different. There was more passion in it and it almost seemed like the mare enjoyed it. Chrysalis herself enjoyed it, for a few more reasons than just a satisfying meal. Trixie pulled away and bid her good night before leaving, locking the door in her wake.
Chrysalis sat there as she tried to connect dots. There was a wide range of emotions that came from the mare. Passion, joy, a speck of dust, and one more emotion that shocked the former queen. It was somewhat faint, meaning she barely knew of it, but it was there.
Trixie seemed to love her.

This side plot is forming nicely. (Very well indeed. Now when do they fuck?) I'm not writing a clopfic. (So? You could always write it separate. Just a little bonus.) I can't even write clop. (Practice, my friend.) I'm also 15, almost 16. (Pfft, that doesn't stop teens from watching porn and reading smut. It's not like its illegal to write it. I bet the commentors agree even!) You are insane. (Correction. WE are insane) Oh shut up. Anyways, main plot will begin next chapter. Till then, enjoy this devolving ship. (And possible clop) shut the fuck up!
Solar Child: Burden of the Crown
Chapter Eight: Plan of attack
"Tell me again why we are based down here." said Blazing a she sat at the table they had teleported in. A group of six ponies with Blueblood at the head. They took hiding in the crystal caves beneath the castle, Blueblood deeming it the most in plain sight place that it would be over looked.
"As I said, it is easily overlooked. It was overlooked in the invasion and it will be overlooked during a planning hardly anypony knows of." said Blueblood with a wave of his hoof. "Tia told the public it was destroyed during the battle when in reality they hid the entrance. Now, what information do we have on leverage?"
"Well." started a brown unicorn stallion with a black mane. "Our moles in the guard have given us some very interesting intel. First off is that Queen Chrysalis was taken into custody after two years of wandering the Everfree, reportedly blind. She is currently in the castle, no longer blind, but under the watch of Trixie.
"This next piece is even better, Rainbow Dash and Celestia are reportedly pregnant." said the unicorn with a grin. Blueblood gave an evil grin himself and motioned to continue. "Well, with the wedding only a few weeks away, they have been seen a bit more, trying to prepare. But each time they were taking it slower than normal, Rainbow was always seen grounded, and they had an extra amount of guards under the order to 'protect them and the special package.' If that doesn't scream foals, then I'm not sure what else."
"Ooh, this is getting juicy." said Blueblood with a grin. "Alright. We got to come up with a plan. Celestia and Rainbow Dash are both the easiest and toughest path to travel. It gives us advantage since the others will not want them to be even touched. It's also difficult due to the fact that we can bring on the apocalypse.
"The other three are still an option since they can't exactly be saved but they will be in full condition. We could try Chrysalis but she is more than likely under reform and we can't be certain wether she would accept or incinerate us on sight. Our best option is with Tia and Rainbow.
"Now, does anyone have an idea to capture them?" This was met with silence as the group fell into thought. Blazing was the one to raise a hoof for answer. Blueblood nodded for her to share.
"Well, one of the best/worst times to try and capture them is during or after the wedding." she started, leaning forward to make herself more known. "It's best since all five will be on a weaker mind set but worse since the other elements will be attending as well as former guard captain. This is not even to mention the security after the invasion.
"I still propose we try it for suprise purpose. They will not expect us to attack with their amount of security so the overall security planning will be low and easy enough to slip by. What we have to be carful of is making it easy for us to be attacked. We have choices, thankfully.
"We could go in loud and stupid, taking out as many as we can and stunning the targets, not killing the foals, I mind you, and hauling them away back down here after making sure we aren't tailed. Once down here, we put on magic suppressors, iron bands, and make sure they are secured.
"Then we have the more silent and stealthy approach. We put a more powerful form of knock-out gas in the ventilation system. This will make sure we get three hours of time for the alicorns and six for the guards. That will be more than enough time to get away. The problem is the noise.
"Once out, the DJ won't be playing the music anymore and that will cause suspicion after awhile. That shortens the window for guards to about fifteen minutes to go in, gather the targets, and get out. Once back here, we use the same restraint methods and wait awhile before going on to the next step." Blaze finished and sat back, letting the information set in.
"Well, that seems to be a solid plan." said Blueblood, rubbing his chin with a hoof. "Alright, we are dealing with Alicorns so we will go in quiet. I want someone to get the gas and the masks. I want a team of six to go in there. Blaze, you will lead. Now hurry up, we got to set this up."
________________________________________________________________________________________
Blueblood looked at the plans that sat on his desk. It consisted of the locations for the objects they needed, builder's layout of the castle, and details of the ventilation system. He rubbed his temples as he stared at the pile before him.
"Long day?" asked a sultry, female voice from behind him. He felt a pair of claws make their way up his back and around his neck, laying there loosely as a blue snout came around and pecked at his neck. He angled it, letting the lips more access.
"Mmhmm." he replied, enjoying the kisses. In her room, Chrysalis giggled, interrupting Trixie, as she smelled the lust between the two.
"What's funny?" asked the azure princess, raising an eyebrow at her changeling counterpart. Chrysalis giggled again and tapped her snout.
"Two ponies are having some rather.....fun, alone time." Trixie blushed and cleared her throat. Meanwhile, the two lovers broke apart and Blueblood made his way over to the engraved balcony. The whole entire hideout was carved into the walls and caves of the system, proving for rather decent living and perfect cover if they ever needed it.
He looked over at the few stallions who were running around in their back Armour, going against the Royal gold and the Night silver. They moved cases of neurotoxin into storage as another carried a small case, no doubt carrying the gas masks for the operation.
It's coming together fast and it almost seems fool proof, but doubt stains it all." he said with a sad sigh. Blaze came up next to him and placed a claw on his shoulder.
"If it falls apart and we fall, we will fall together, at each others side. Now, let's get to bed. We till got plenty of planning to do the next week and we need you ready." He followed the mare back into their room, the ways it could all go wrong in his mind.

Well, you can tell I played GTA V. (Played it? We just watched theRadBrad play it.). Close enough. (Whatever you say.) Well, the point is that the planning structure sounds like Lester's explanation for most heist's in the game. So, a few more side plot devolpments, a wedding, the the kidnapping. (GTA V this bitch.) Exactly. See you guys later.
Solar Child: Burden of the Crown
Chapter Nine: A realization and the talk
Trixie found herself smiling dumbly as she woke up that morning, Twilight just finishing up putting away her stars. For some reason she found herself excited to spend the day with her reforming captive. It was just something about the changeling that aroused her excitement, as well as a few odd dreams that brought a blush to her cheeks. She just wished her mother didn't decide to take a peek.
She placed on her hoof wear, her regila, and her recently designed crown. The crown and regila was identical in her mothers in some sense. It held the crescent moon but in addition, it was a sparkling blue. Part of the reason was the fact it was amplifying her Lunamancy connection to the moon itself. It helped serve her during the day when her connection would be less powerful. Her mothers was the same.
Celestia was the same, except her amplifier came in the form of earrings. She was currently working on a pair for her daughter so she could release her grip of the stars and take her stance as ruler of magic and weilder of solarmancy. Both Solarmancy and it's lunar counterpart used the raw magical powers of the sun and moon to amplify their magic as well as manipulate their magic certain ways, Celestia's power to stare literal holes in the wall being on.
While Trixie and Luna couldn't cook a pony alive, it had its more freezing purpose. It also allowed them to use the beams of light from the moon and shape it into a solid object of choice. This could be used for artistic, defensive, and offensive uses or just something to help out with daily life. It was something twice as difficult during the day since one had to almost create the light before crafting anything, even then it was limited.
Trixie at one point made this useful, keeping her most prized possetions locked away in a cabinet with a lock that can only be opened by a Lunamancy crafted key, even then it must be created by Trixie herself or by someone she trusts enough. This has been proven to be a very useful method, it's only weakness is chaos weilding entities.
Trixie stretched before moving the magical tether from Chrysalis' room wall to herself. She strode out of the room and out towards her captives, or rather associate's, room. Trixie hated to refer to her as a prisoner or captive. It enraged her for some reason. She never liked the transition from the bubbly feeling inside she felt around the mare to rage. It was never pleasant especially when it was alicorns.
"Good morning, Chry-" she stopped mid greeting in the doorway, watching as a recently wet Chrysalis stood in the bathroom doorway. Chrysalis was not wearing a towel and seemed to realize this as a white towel slowly can out from behind her and wrapped around her waist.
"Well, um sorry about that." said Trixie, trying to suppress the massive blush on her face. Chrysalis was similarly blushing. The sight made Trixie's heart beat faster and the bubbling feeling in her stomach come back with a vengeance. Chrysalis tasted the love on the tip of her tongue and licked her lips slightly, tasting it.
Well, it's quiet obvious now. The only question is what to do about it. It's not exactly WRONG for me to love her and vis versa, it's just difficult due to my rather active past. thought Chrysalis as she used a quick spell to dry herself. Dropping the towel, she walked over to the mirror and brushed out her mane before trotting over to Trixie.
The best thing I can do right now is just think on it. She is a beautiful mare and a wonderful kisser at that. Her heart is as pure as gold and more caring than any pony I've ever met. She might even pass Celestia in that respect. It's just her family I'm worried about. Once she figures out he loves me, she will be equally worried. The best place to start is with her mother, though I could end up dead before even trying this out. Chrysalis was broken out of her thought process when Trixie opened a door leading into a ball room.
"Mother, Rarity, I sure you remember Chrysalis." said Trixie as they entered. It was them that Chrysalis noticed the alabaster unicorn and indigo alicorn in the center of the room. Luna showed no emotion as she saw Chrysalis while Rarity was visibly uncomfortable.
"Well, Miss Rarity, the decorating is going wonderfully. I can say it is looking to be a beautiful wedding. I will leave you to my daughter." said Luna, smiling at the unicorn.
"Oh well of course, Princess. I can't imagine anything less for the wedding for the princesses much less my friends. I'm sure it will be beyond your imagination." said Rarity with a confident smile. Luna nodded and looked over to Trixie. She nodded, lighting her horn for a quick second. Chrysalis felt her tether shift in space as it was transferred over to Luna. She rose an eyebrow.
"Trixie thought it would be uncomfortable for you to be here during the planning. While you will make an appearance at the wedding itself for public approval, you will spend your time with me." said Luna, her smile staying in place. Chrysalis shifted uncomfortably. She knew she had to bring up Trixie to her but it was still difficult to tell the mover of the moon that you knew her daughter loved you and was interested in trying this relationship. It was suicidal and insane. Thankfully she wasn't very sane nor had a family to really mourn her.
She followed the indigo mare out of the room and into the halls, leaving Trixie to fuss over the preperations. For awhile it was quiet, only the two of them walking. Luna then stopped as they reached the gardens. She turned to her, her gaze going from the kindness in the ball room to a cold glare.
"What are your intentions with my daughter?" Oh fuck me. Chrysalis gulped and looked down at the ground.
"This is awkward." she mumbled. She bit her lip and walked over to one of the benches. She sat down and took interest in her hooves for a few moments.
"I'm sure you are aware that Trixie's method of feeding me in my true form is via kiss. Maybe not one you would prefer but it does more than enough to feed me. Anyways, after awhile, I began to pick some...feelings from her. Joy, lust, and, surprisingly, love." Luna stared at her. Trying to deem her information worth trusting.
"It was enough that it's there but she is not fully aware of it. It's only a matter of time until she figures it out. Wether it's constant exposure to me, not enough exposure, natural finding, or a nice, long, talk with Rarity, since I remember talking about romance the entire time I was trying on dresses."
"So, you are saying that my daughter is in love with you?" asked Luna, sitting down and raising her eyebrow.
"More than likely." said Chrysalis with a nod. Luna hummed to herself for a moment.
"And what is your thoughts on her? Do YOU love her?" she asked. Chrysalis froze for a brief moment. She looked away and found the grass very interesting. Luna tapped her hoof in impatience.
"I don't know." said Chrysalis softly. Luna cocked her head at her. "I mean, she is beautiful, kind, and her heart is made out of pure gold. She didn't care that I tried to take over. She saw me as a pony who was blind and needed help and didn't hesitate to.
"I would love for this to work but." She bit her lip. "I'm afraid of the outlook. You were a worry, of course. Parents usually are, especially when one moves the moon and controls dreams. But it's the public. Yes, they are accepting of filly foolers in the throne, but I'm a changeling for fucks sake! I'm hated!" Chrysalis placed her head in her hooves, holding back tears. "I'm afraid they will tear her apart just because of me. I couldn't put that on her."
"But wouldn't it hurt her to never tell her? To never try?" asked Luna, placing a hoof on her shoulder. Her look went from anger to sympathy. Chrysalis looked up to her, tears blurring her vision.
"What do I do?" she asked pleadingly. Luna gave her a small smile.
"Tell the truth. Take her off her hooves and plunge her into the most passionate kiss you can give, just let her know. Just remember." Luna moved closer until her mouth was next to Chrysalis' ear. "If you hurt my daughter I will feed your soul to a black hole and send you into a eternal dreams where I will haunt you with horrors that will make you most horrifying moment seem like a wet dream while you are bound to a dying star." She sat back and smiled at the horrified Chrysalis. "Either than that, you should be fine, my dear."
________________________________________________________________________________________
"I just don't know what the feeling is, Rarity." said Trixie as she walked around room with Rarity. Trixie thought if anyone could identify the feeling she had around Chrysalis, it was Rarity. The mare was almost an expert on this type of thing. The white mare was beaming by the end of her explanation.
"Oh, it's just simply obvious my dear!" cheered Rarity, nearly hopping around in the manner Pinkie Pie was as she decorated the ball room. "You're in love!" A ballon was soon hailed as the first ever to succeed in taking down a princess. Stories of its feat were soon to be told in songs and bed time stories.
"What?!" squeaked Trixie from her spot on the floor. She got up on her hooves and stared at her, slack jawed. "What do you mean 'In love'?"
"Exactly that, Darling! You have gained feelings for our changeling friend, and that turned into love! Oh how it is such a beautiful and sneaky thing." said Rarity in a sing-song voice. Trixie stuttered, but couldn't deny it. She tried to think of a million other things it could be, but love fit perfectly and made her heart beat to the point of exploding. She sighed and gave in.
"What do I do?" she asked, looking up at Rarity. The mare stopped and put a hoof to her chin.
"Well, she more than likely knows. It seems that she is okay with the idea since she doesn't seemed bothered. From what I saw when she came in, she was perfectly fine." said the mare. She pointed a hoof at Trixie. "You need to tell her what you feel and give it a shot."
"You know it's not that easy!" shouted Trixie. "I'm a princess and she is the same changeling who invaded Canterlot. While the elements and princesses know what she did was out of pure desperation and hunger, the public sees it differently. She will not be taken kindly and neither will I of they find out I'm dating a changeling."
"You can't possibly let that stop you." said Rarity with a wave of a hoof. "As filly foolers, colt cuddlers, and bisexuals have proven, love has no boundaries. Are you going to let your love for Chrysalis slip by just because she is a changeling?" asked the fashionista.
"So you really think I should do it?"
"Of course, my dear." Trixie sighed and sat down for a bit.
"Fine. I'll give it a try when I feed her tonight." said Trixie, giving in. Rarity squealed in delight.
"Oh this is simply wonderful!"

Trixie and Chrysalis sat in her chambers later that day. Chrysalis was starting to get worried at the fact her crush barely seemed to talk. She sat there for a moment, her talk with Luna fresh in her mind. She soon deemed it time to take action.
"Hey Trixie?" said Chrysalis, pausing as she got the mares attention. "Have you ever thought about loving somepony?" Trixie was taken aback by the sudden question. It was something she never expected, let alone from her.
"Yes, a few times. Why do you ask?" asked Trixie, trying to hide her anxiety. Chrysalis bit her lip.
"Well, I've been thinking about it recently. I would love to settle down, wake up in the morning with somepony nuzzled up to me, the real me. Have them love me for me and not some other pony." She looked up at Trixie. "And...a-and I think I found a pony I would love nothing more to love and be loved by." Trixie's eyes widened as Chrysalis got closer to her, the gap between theIr muzzles vanishing fast.
The world fell apart as their lips connected. This time it wasn't just for the sake of food. This time it was passion, love. Trixie rolled her eyes back into her head and leaned into it, taking in the taste of the changeling mare. She whined as she pulled back.
"I-I'm sorry." said Chrysalis, refusing to meet her eyes. Trixie took her chin in her hoof and guided the changelings face back to hers, connecting them again for a quick kiss.
"And I would love nothing more than to love you, Chrysalis." said Trixie, staring into her jade eyes. They connected a third time, tackling Trixie to the ground.
"I love you." whispered Chrysalis as she broke off.
"And I you."

Well, the ship has sailed. Let's hope the waters won't be too rough. (Well, now that it has sailed, can we right a clop?) What is with you and clop fics? (They are quiet arousing in my opinion. Besides, what's stopping you?) the fact that they are usually rated Mature. (Pfft. We are writing a mature fic already.) True... (Great! Now write a very erotic clop!) I'll think about it and have it ran by commentors. Damn insanity. (Thank you) Now, I might have one more side plot chapter before we go on and do the heist. Yes, the kidnapping is now officially called 'The Hiest' (Remember, we feed off of your faves, likes, and comments. Feed us!) Okay, that's just creepy. (But partially true.)
Solar Child: Burden of the Crown
Chapter Ten: Wedding preperations
Trixie groaned as the morning light entered through the windows and into her eyes. She was about to curse at it when she felt hooves tighten around her. She smiled as she remembered and turned around. Chrysalis blinked open her eyes and then squinted.
"Mmmm. The sun is evil." she said, nuzzling her head into Trixie's coat. Trixie chuckled and stroked her marefriend's mane.
"Come on. We have to get up and get ready. The wedding is tomorrow." said Trixie, kissing her below the horn. Chrysalis squirmed at the feeling before diving deeper into Trixie's chest. Trixie huffed and drove her hooves into Chrysalis' side.
"H-hey! N-no fair!" said the changeling between laughs. She rolled off the bed and landed with a dull thud. She looked over the bed and pouted. "That wasn't nice."
"Neither is not listening to me and trying to fall asleep on chest when we have work to do. Like get you a bride's maids dress." said Trixie as she put on her regila.
"Why did your mother make me her best mare? I mean, I am dating her daughter let alone a the changeling that invaded her country. I'm surprised they want me at the wedding at all." said Chrysalis as she brushed out her mane. She huffed as she noticed the multiple knots formed in her hair.
"If having sex with a pony helped you out of being reformed, I could do out with the knots in my mane. I wonder if that's how Discord got reformed."
"I wouldn't be surprised. Him and Fluttershy are extremely close and there are some rumors of the two being together."
"Now all we need is for him to purpose during the reception and then it will be a day to remember."
"Him purposing would be the most chaotic event of the evening judging by his character. Though, he may tone it down with Fluttershy around." said Trixie. She yanked on the brush, undoing the last knot in her mane. She pouted and rubbed the spot on her head where the hair pulled. "Faust, I hate knots in my mane."
"You and me both." said Chrysalis, finishing off the last knot in her mane. Once the two mares were presentable, they stepped out into the hall and towards the dining hall.
"Can I ask you what this thing with Blueblood is? I heard Twilight mention it a few times but I never understood what it was about." asked Chyrsalis. Trixie sighed.
"Blueblood was arrested when Twilight, Rainbow, and our parents came out to the public. He was convicted of deifying the crown and later of treasonous behaviour. A day after his imprisonment, he was broken out by a member of the AC, AntiCelestia group.
"They have a very bloody path with Twilight and Celestia, especially after their failed attempt on murdering Twilight twelve years ago. Currently, their target is the whole royal family, which I more than likely roped you into if they find out that we are dating." explained Trixie.
"So a group of ponies are trying to take down four, now five, alicorns? That's suicide." said Chrysalis, shaking her head.
"Not exactly. Remember, Blueblood knows the routine of this castle as well as any of us. He knows almost all of its secrets and has plenty of moles in the system. Plus, the mare that broke him out is a pony/dragon hybrid." said Trixie.
"And two of our very best are currently pregnant. Well this is a very difficult situation." said Chrysalis. Trixie stopped in front of her and looked into her eyes.
"I want you to promise me that you will be careful until this whole things blows over, alright? I don't want to lose you." she said, tears starting to form in her eyes. Chrysalis kissed her then rested their foreheads together, their horns crossing.
"And you won't. I will stay by you until the end and I will make sure no one hurts you." Trixie smiled and gave her a peck on the lips.
"Thank you." said Trixie, smiling. Chrysalis grinned and pulled back.
"Now, I think there was this thing called 'breakfast' that we were planning on attending." said the changeling alicorn with a large grin. Trixie giggled and nodded, the two making their way towards the dining hall where the others waited.
____________________________________________________________________________________
"No! Get that treacherous clothing away from me!" shouted Chrysalis, trying to escape Luna's magical grasp. Said alicorn was sitting in the corner, trying not to laugh as the changeling tried to defend herself from the dress Rarity was trying to fit on her. Rarity groaned and tossed the dress into the air.
"You are worse than Rainbow Dash." huffed the alabaster unicorn. Chrysalis smiled sheepishly.
"Sorry. It's just that I hate wearing dresses. If I really need to to keep up my disguise, then I will." she said. Luna rolled her eyes and walked up to her.
"Well you still need to wear one. My best mare needs to look the part." said Luna with a smile. Chrysalis cocked her head at the lunar princess, not noticing the green brides maids dress that was being fitted on her.
"Why did you choose me? There was plenty of other pony mares that would have done fine as best mare. What makes me so special?" she asked.
"Besides the fact that Tia chose my daughter to be hers?" asked Luna. She sighed and sat down, setting down the now dressed changeling. "Multiple reasons. Ponies need to get used to you. If you are in the wedding, let alone best mare to one of the princesses, you will be easier to trust and accept. Another reason is for me to get used to you. I have no doubt that if this love is strong enough that you two will get married, maybe a foal or two, them I will have no choice but to accept you as family.
"Finally is a mother thing. Making sure my baby is safe around the mare she seems to love." said Luna. She looked up at Chrysalis who listened quietly. "I have no doubt that you love her and would tear apart Equestria to protect her, but I have to be sure. It's a paranoia mother thing. Have a kid or two and you will feel the same."
"Yeah, I understand." said Chrysalis. She took a quick look over at the seemingly simple green dress, obviously chosen to bring out her jade eyes. "I guess the dress is okay." she said with a smile. "How much, Rarity?"
"Nothing at all, deary. I don't charge royalty." said Rarity with a wave of her hoof as she packed up the dress. Chrysalis raised an eyebrow.
"Well, then I insist you give me a price." she said.
"Why, may I ask?"
"Because I haven't been royalty for two years. Right now, I'm supposed to be dead in the Everfree, being used as a toothpick for some random manticore. I've seen too much generosity NOT to pay for my own dress." said Chrysalis in a stern voice. Rarity stammered up a bit, trying to figure out what she should do.
"Two hundred bits, no more." said Rarity, giving in. Chrysalis smiled and pulled out the purse given to her to make whatever purchases she need. After depositing her two hundred bits to the fashionista, the two walked out into, nodding to their guards as they did so, and went to gardens for a brief walk.
"So, I'm guessing one of you two is throwing a bachelorette party." said Chrysalis as they roamed. Luna nodded.
"Me and Rainbow have a Bachelor party while Tia and Twi have a Bachelorette party." said Luna with a grin.
"Oh Faust, you two throwing a bachelor party? This could end up with all of us in the dungeons by wedding day morning." said Chrysalis.
"Yup!" said Luna proudly.
"I'm in. Who knows, Trixie might by jealous in the morning." said Chrysalis with a toothy grin. Luna and Chrysalis hoof bumped and kept walking.
_________________________________________________That Evening_____________________________
Luna and Rainbow bought out a club for the night, reserving it for them and some of the exclusive guests. Chrysalis herself was surprised to her Metallicolt a block away from the club, meaning either the speakers were getting a workout or they actually got Metallicolt to come an play.
Upon entering, Chrysalis' ears were pressed against her skull as the loud music blasted her ear drums. She was correct in the sense that Luna had gotten a band. Metallicolt stood on the raised stage in the back of the club, playing My Friend of Misery from what she could tell. Chrysalis tapped along to the beat, being a moderate fan of the metal band herself.
She spotted Luna and Rainbow Dash at the bar, laughing at Faust knows what. She smiled and trotted over, braving to let her ears up. Thankfully the speakers didn't continue to deafen her.
"'Bout time you got here! Luna made me wait on drinking until you got here." said Rainbow as she reached the two.
"Let's just say Trixie is equally late and leave it a at that." said Chrysalis, ordering Applejack Daniels with Coke. The bartender nodded, filling a tall glass with ice and proceeding to fill a fourth of it with the whiskey before filling the rest to the brim with the pop. Chrysalis nodded and took her drink.
"We got a heavy weight, now don't we?" asked Luna as she eyed the whiskey/pop combo.
"Eating pony food sustains us, just like water to ponies. Water, though, we need just like ponies. We occasionally get large shipments from changelings in the shipping industry that ship some food and various drinks, one of them being whiskey. Mixing it with Coke adds flavor." explained the changeling, taking another sip from her drink.
"Damn, I feel like I'm drinking a ladies drink." said RD, staring at her daiquiri.
"I wouldn't try mine. I'm used to it but I used to turn into mega bitch after three sips." said Chrysalis with a chuckle. Luna and Dash eyed their drinks and deemed that it would be best to stick with them and hope Chrysalis held her liquor well.
The song came to an end and Jaymz Hayfield stepped back infront of the mic, tapping on it for attention.
"Alright. This one was requested by the mares of honor tonight." With that said, he stepped back. The bassist nodded started playing, setting the pace and spoiling the song of choice. Chrysalis laughed as she recognized the song.
"Oh, you are evil." she said with a grin as the band joined in to the bassist's rythym. She bobbed her head to the heavy guitar, enjoying the music immensely.
"It's not everyday I meet a changeling who enjoys classic metal." said Rainbow as she watched the changeling. Chrysalis turned and cocked her head at the cyan mare.
"What, you think we are non-plused with the pony society? We feed off pony emotions and we need to blend in the best we can. Though I didn't do so well last time." said Chrysalis, scratching the back of her head. They sat there in silence, remembering the invasion.
"I actually got to thank you for that." said Rainbow, breaking the silence.
"What do you mean?" asked Chrysalis.
"It wasn't until after the invasion that I realized how much I loved Twilight and how much it hurt me to see her in pain. A few weeks later I ended up kissing her and running away. A few minutes later she tackled to the ground, telling me the feelings were returned." Luna and Chrysalis chuckled.
"What does that remind me of?" they said at the same time, causing the three to break out in laughter, finding that they all got together with their special somepony in a somewhat similar manner hilarious. The alighted soon died down until they were sitting in a comfortable silence, listening to Metallicolt.
Chrysalis soon found herself starting to drift, which was odd due to the fact that she had plenty of sleep and not even one glass. It usually took fifteen. She thought through the possibilities on what the cause for her exhaustion could be and settled upon a very disturbing thought. Emotion overflow.
It was a very uncommon sickness that lasted only a few hours if changeling is let alone for awhile. It usually occurs when a changeling is exposed to extremely strong emotions for a long period of time. It is impossible for a changeling to pick it up from their feeding emotion, meaning it was one she normally did not touch but was still around.
She crossed out Trixie, since the only strong emotion from her was love. This particular felt negative, extremely due to her weakness. She looked through the emotions, organizing them to which she touched most to which she touched less. Love was of course on the very top. She climbed down before she hit the bottom, finding hatred. It was one of the emotions hardly any changelings touched.
She felt it a few times around the castle, not always directed at her, but tonight was different. It was strong, and it was lethal. Chrysalis had to restrain the urge to empty her stomach.
"Hey, are you alright?" asked Luna, eyeing the changeling with concern.
"I just need to head home." she stood up but stopped. She turned towards Luna and leaned to her ear.
"Something bad is coming. Please, be careful." Chrysalis stood back upright, a sad look in her eyes and left, leaving a confused and slightly horrified Luna.
"What was that about?" asked Rainbow, watching the changeling stumble out like she was drunk off her flank.
"I think she just warned us."
Author's Note
To give you an example on how rare Emotional Overflow is, it happens to about one changeling ever decade or so. Chrysalis just expirenced it now and we can all guess why. And sick Chrysalis saves the day! Almost. This, thankfully, shortens the window for the retrieval group from fifteen minutes to five. So, next chapter we are going GTA V. (Aw yeah, mother fuckers.)
Solar Child: Burden of the Crown
Chapter Eleven: Wedding Heist
Chrysalis groaned as light bled through the window, shining on her eyes. Her head was still pounding slightly and symptoms of Emotional Overflow still present, but weaker. She just hoped she could make it through the wedding without emptying her stomach on Luna.
"Look who decided to wake up." Chrysalis turned her head to the sound to find Trixie smirking down at her. She groaned and covered her head with a pillow.
"My head hurts. Do I have to go?" she whined, hoping to spare herself and whoever was around her. She heard Trixie giggle.
"Nope. Sorry. What happened to you last night anyways? Mom said you walked out like you were drunk and you only had half a glass. She also said something about a warning." she asked, sitting down on the edge of the bed. Chrysalis sighed any turned to face her,
"I have a sickness called Emotional Overflow. It's not from you so don't worry. It's caused when a changeling is exposed to a emotion we hardly ever touch. To get us sick, it needs to be powerful and in large amounts." explained Chrysalis. She sat up. "It's rare enough that when it happens something bad is sure to follow."
"How rare?" asked Trixie, a bit concerned.
"Once a decade rare. Last time was actually two decades ago, around the gryphon war. I believe it was some changeling who went as high as captain in guard ranks. I believe her name was Shield." Trixie bit her lip as she remembered the name as one of the guards killed during a n ambush that started the war.
"And she was killed along with Captain Sparkle, sparking the war." finished Trixie.
"Correct. But, how did you..."
"Captain Twilight Sparkle is the second mother of our dear Twilight Solar. Tia had three months of pregnancy left when they got word."
"She never had an easy life, did she?" asked Chrysalis.
"Being the daughter to the most powerful being in existence then having to play dead for ten years, yeah. She is doing pretty good despite all that." said Trixie. She thought back to the conversation they were having.
"What was the emotion that got you sick?" she asked, cocking her head at Chrysalis.
"Hate. It was lethal last night and I can still feel it this morning. It's in the castle, but too far downwards to be anyone we know." she said, putting a hoof to her chin. She scrambled around her head.
"What did you do to the cave after the invasion, the one I hid Cadence in?" she asked.
"Tia said it was destroyed during the invasion. In all reality, we hid the entrance. Why?"
"And Blueblood knew that it was still there?"
"Of course. Why does thi...oh sweet mother of Faust."
"Exactly." said Chrysalis nodding. Trixie stuck her head out the door, ordering a team of guards to search the caves. "We just have to hope they are stupid enough to stay." said Chrysalis. "If they were smart, they would have abandoned it before trying anything or when they got wind that we suspect that they are there."
"So they more than likely have a second base set up." said Trixie. Chrysalis nodded.
"More than likely. You always want a back up in case everything goes to shit. You also don't want to place your entire army in one place, that would be asking for slaughter." she said, standing up off the bed. "They would have them dived up and placed in different areas as a back up. They will also have the more higher ups separated. If they are in one place, the entire chain of comand could be destroyed and rebuilding would be extemely difficult."
"I scared of your war knowledge right now." said Trixie, shaking her head.
"Whe you grow up as a heir to the throne, you tend to learn about war tactics and how best to handle situations and last resorts. Tia and Lulu, maybe Twilight, probably have the same knowledge as well. It's needed if you are going to rule an entire country." said Chrysalis. Trixie shook her head and tossed a brush at the changeling.
"Hurry up and get dressed. Rarity will get our manes done when we get there and whatever adjustments to our dresses as well."
_________________________________________________________________________________________
"Ow! Careful!" shouted Chrysalis. She was currently in her brides maids dress and was getting her mane done by Rarity. The unicorn huffed and pulled on the brush, gaining another yelp from the changeling.
"It would hurt less if you stopped squirming. And would it hurt you to do your mane up every now and then?" she asked. Chrysalis glared up at her,
"I don't put up my mane. I prefer it down. I never saw the appeal in putting your mane up in pain staking buns or putting enough hair spray in it to case global warming." said Chrysalis. Wincing as the brush pulled on her hair a second time. There was a pat on her shoulder, slitting her know she was done.
"It's fashion, my dear. The most respected mares in society do up their manes." said Rarity as she picked out the stray strands of green hair out of her brush.
"And my marefriend is one of the most respected and she doesn't kill the planet with hair spray. Neither does Twilight, Celestia, or Luna. I don't see the point in it." said the changeling as she looked at herself in the mirror. "Though I do look surprisingly good with a bun."
"Most mares do, darling." said the mare as she checked her own mane once over. She then turned to Luna, who was quietly watching the banter between the two with a smirk.
"Well, it's sure to catch Trixie's eye. She might even start to drool." said Luna, surprising her giggles as the changeling gained a crimson sheen.
"Yes, well, good to know I'm looking decent enough." she said, turning away from the laughing indigo alicorn. "How is this supposed to work, anyways? Two couples are getting married at the same time, that has to be difficult."
"Cadence is going to marry us both. All on the same alter. Me and Rainbow's brides maids on one side, Twi and Tia's on the other. I believe Spike is me and Tia's ring bearer, Scootaloo being Twilight and Rainbow's." said Luna, sitting still while Rarity fussed with her mane.
"Scootaloo? Where have I heard that name before?"
"Scootaloo is a orange Pegasus filly with a minor flight impairment. Rainbow adopted her as a sister a few years back. I heard she's battling to get her out of the orphanage." said Luna. She winced as Rarity hit a knot hidden in her hair.
"Sorry, deary." apologized Rarity.
"So, what do you mean by flight impairment?" asked Chrysalis as Luna stopped glaring at the white unicorn.
"Her wings are smaller than average compared to other filly's her age. She can barely lift herself off the ground. Though, she has gotten to the point where she can fly at a certain height for a short span. Rainbow Dash is good for her when she's around." said Luna, smiling.
"Well, I'll make sure I don't scare the poor filly." said Chrysalis, smiling.
"Oh, I doubt you would be able to. She would probably go on about how awesome you look. It's very hard to get that filly visibly scared." said Luna with a shake of her head. Chrysalis chuckled and waited for Rarity to get done with her mane.
"So, how is your relationship with Trixie? She has been busy running around like mad for me to ask her." asked Luna.
"I've been curious about that, as well. I never been able to hear how you two have been since I saw Trixie leave, set on asking you out." said Rarity, looking up at the changeling.
"It has been going along extremely well despite her work schedule. I think at one point I tried to beg her for me to take care of court so she could sleep." said Chrysalis, putting a hoof to her chin. She shrugged, setting the thought aside. "Then there was the incident with my sickness this morning but that's over with."
"Sickness?" asked Rarity, seeming mildly concerned.
"It's a changeling thing. It's extremely rare but non-lethal. It just makes me feel like I'm drunk into next week. Though that doesn't mean my warning was not sincere, Lulu." said Chrysalis, pointing her hoof at Luna.
"Do you at least know what you are warning me about?" asked Luna.
"I have a very good reason to believe the AC has been hiding out in the old caves. I could taste the hate, thus the EO, but I didn't know its origin at first. I soon narrowed it down to the caves, though they could have moved out by now." said Chrysalis. Luna sighed and rubbed her temple.
"Should I be concerned?" asked Rarity, raising an eyebrow.
"Hopefully, no. We will just have to wait and see." said Luna.
"Anyways, we got a wedding to preform." said Chrysalis with a grin.
__________________________________________________________________________________________
Chrysalis hasn't been to a wedding since the invasion, and yet she couldn't help but notice the likeness between the two. Luna and Rainbow Dash stood on the alter, waiting for their respective other. Chrysalis stood next to Applejack, Dash's best mare, and watched, a smile gracing her face.
She was truly happy when ever to ponies loved each other to such great lengths. Marriage was one of the best ways to show your love and it always made Chrysalis smile. She hated the fact that she had to invade one.
Cadence was smiling as well as she stood in the center. Though Chrysalis could feel her glaring holes through the back of her head on occasion. She couldn't blame her. Chrysalis just hoped she could smooth this all over before the pink alicorn attacked her,
The thought was casted aside as Celestia and Twilight walked down the aisle, hooves intertwined like a father and his filly. The bulge was made ever present with the white wedding dress. It was made obvious that they were holding hooves more for support more than tradition.
They soon made it to the alter and stood opposite of their significant other. Rarity, who stood on the otherside of the alter, was trying her best to not bawl in public. Chrysalis figured that she found weddings overly emotional. With one last glare at Chrysalis, Cadence cleared her throat, put on her largest smile, and cleared her throat for attention.
"Fillies and Gentlecolts, today we are her to join together two couples in marriage. Princess Twilight Solar, daughter of the sun goddess, and Rainbow Dash, Element of Loyalty. As well as Princess Celestia, Goddess of the Sun, and Princess Luna, Goddess of the Moon and Night.
"We are here to witness the turning point in their lives and the next step in their blossoming love. If there is a pony out there that does not wish for these four to be married, please speak." Cadence was met with silence. "Right. Twilight, please recite your vows." Twilight smiled and nodded.
"I, Twilight Solar, vow to be by your side through every tough time and will protect you in any sight of danger and will raise our foal with as much love and care I will show you. And I will never let my duty get in the way of my family." Cadence nodded and turned to the cyan Pegasus, who was trying her best not to cry, tears falling down her cheeks showing her every approaching defeat.
"Rainbow Dash, your vows." Rainbow Dash was quiet, trying to get together enough emotional strength to speak.
"I, Rainbow Dash, will act my part as loyalty and will never leave your side, never turn a blind eye to you, or our family, and will love you wholly and entirely for as long as I am allowed on this world." Tears streamed down the cyan mare's face, catching on her smiling lips before falling down to the marble. Cadence nodded and shifted over slightly to address the last couple.
"Luna, your vows." said Cadence, addressing the slightly crying moon princess. She took in a sharp intake of breath before speaking.
"I, Princess Luna, Goddess of the Night, vow to protect you through all dangers, to stay by your side through all obstacles life my throw, and to watch over our children and protect them, and keep them safe." Most mares were now in full blown tears, not being able to handle the raw emotion. Chrysalis was even crying herself, the raw display of love proving too much for the changeling.
"Celestia, your turn." Celestia smiled. She was slightly cursing the fact that she was not allowed to tackle the mare before her into a kiss until later that night. She took in a deep breath.
"I, Princess Celestia, Goddess of the Sun, vow to protect you through danger, care for you when sick, and stay by your side through every obstacle until the sun itself dies out." And this, was the breaking point. Whoever was not crying certainly was now, not being able to control their tears any longer. Cadence once again took her spot between the two couples before moving on to the final stretch. She nodded and Spike and Scootaloo came out from the sides of the alter, each bearing a pillow with rings. One with two horn rings, the other with a horn ring and a wing band.
"These rings will signify your everlasting bond to each other and your undying love for one another." said Cadence as they each place the rings on the other. Once each had on their respective band she moved on to the final piece of the ritual.
"Do you, Twilight Solar, take Rainbow Dash as your newly wedded wife?"
"I do."
"And do you, Rainbow Dash, take Twilight Solar as your newly wedded wife?"
"I do." Cadence turned from them to Celestia and Luna who were clearing yearning to tackle each other into a passionate kiss.
"Do you, Celestia Solar, take Luna Lulamoon as your newly wedded wife?"
"I do."
"And do you, Luna Lulamoon, take Celestia Solar as your newly wedded wife?"
"I do."
"Then I pronounce the four of you as mare and mare! You now kiss the bride, err, mare!" The crowd erupted into cheer as the four kissed their other half. Chrysalis herself wanted to rush over the otherside of the alter and tackle Trixie into a kiss, but kept her stance. Trixie, however, was less inclined to stay in her spot.
Taking a mighty bound over the two couples, aided by her wings, Trixie tackled the changeling. Chrysalis' eyes went wide as Trixie's lips connected with hers as they fell back. Cadence, who had no idea of the couple, stood in shock as they kissed. Luna, turned and smiled at her daughter, laying her head on Celestia's shoulder. It was surely a day to remember. Soon, for a darker reason as well.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
"Targets sighted. Drop time approaching." said the voice through the small magical communicator in Blaze's ear. She was wearing a simple blue dress with her mane done up in the traditional bun. She looked over the crowd until she found where the targets were.
"Alright. I see them. Keep your positions for a while longer. We need to wait until the song nears the end so we have time to sneak away. Once it ends, drop the neurotoxin, it will take ten seconds for it to take its full effects." said Blaze. There was a murmur of agreement.
The wedding ended a full three hours ago. It was darker outside, making it a better time to attempt the heist. Celestia and Rainbow Dash sat with their wives at the high table, talking along with each other and the other brides maids. Trixie and Chrysalis sat next each other, refusing to be separated.
"Blueblood, befriending the changeling queen has been proven negative. She has courted with Miss Lulamoon." said Blaze, eyeing the couple.
"Shit. Oh well, as long as she stays out of the way she is not a problem for now. We will deal with her at the same time we do Miss Lulamoom." said Blueblood. The song was winding down, signaling it's nearing end.
"Alright, ground team sneak out and apply masks. Drop team, wait till the song ends. Go."
____________________________________________________________________________________________
Chrysalis watched as the Pegasus with a dark blue coat and red mane left the room. She knew it was Blaze, but could not do anything from her position. She quickly worked through the situation in her mind. Hatred picking up upon the weddings arrival, AC member at the reception, what did it mean.
Chrysalis then noticed the song stopped and that Blaze was no longer in the room. She connected two to two together and got a very disturbing four.
"Trixie we need to get out of here now!" said Chrysalis, picking up the slight smell of neurotoxin, knock-out gas to be exact.
"Why?" she asked, seeming slightly concerned. The scent was becoming stronger, her vision blurrier.
"The AC! They're here! We need to *yawn* get out of here now." Chryslis fell face first into Trixie's lap. The mare soon fell down, sending them both to the ground. Numerous drops sounded throughout the room as the toxin took its toll. Within thirty seconds, everyone in the room was out cold.
"Alright. Secure the targets and get out. We don't have much time." said Blaze, now in her dragon form. Her voice was muffled by her gas mask. "Remember, after that emergency this morning security is tighter. Guards ETA five minutes." The group worked as fast as they could. Two ponies picking up Rainbow while Blaze handled Celestia. The remaining two covered them.
"Captain, we have been discovered. The drop team thanks you for letting us help in the changing of the nation and wish you luck." There was an audible bang off in the distance, signaling the suicide of the drop team. The ground team bowed their heads for a second before continuing on.
They were able to slip into the hallways and into the hidden entrance on castle grounds, all before the guards came around the corner. Half an hour later two newly weds woke to find their other half missing, along with their unborn foals.
Author's Note
(Can I summon Deadpool to kill Blueblood and the AC, please?) No, mini me. They deserve a worse death. Preferably by two very pissed momma bears. Well, this probably topped my longest chapter in history. It's probably somewhere up there with the last two chapters of Solar Child. If I made mistakes with the wedding, I hadn't been to on in four years. (The last one being our late brothers two months before the funeral.) Enjoy this monster of a chapter and look forward to raw rage next chapter. (Nightmare Moon and Dusk Eclipse, maybe?) Maybe.

Celestia groaned as she woke up, the cold hard ground not helping her any bit. She slowly opened her eyes to find herself in a cell, the walls made of a blue and green crystal. It took her a few minutes to recognize it as the crystal caves under the very castle she ruled.
"Fuck. My head." Celestia turned to see Rainbow Dash waking up. Due to her marriage to Twilight, the magical bond between the two did more than lengthen her life to be immortal but increased her toxin tolerance as well as a few other alicorn benefits. It was a spell created in ancient times to keep the spouse of an alicorn alive and well for the entirety of their marriage.
"I couldn't agree more." said Celestia, rubbing her temple. Her hoof absent mildly went by her ring. However, just above her golden wedding band, she felt a slightly rougher ring. She traced it for a moment. She then looked at her hoof as well, shackles gripping around it. She looked at her mid-section to find a leather band wrapped around her, keeping her wings painfully close to her sides.
You got to be fucking kidding me." she said. Lead magic suppressor that doubled as a suppressant for Solar Flare, her personal demon. Then there was the sturdy iron shackles around her hooves and the strong leather strap keeping her wings tight. Another though hit her, making her heart sink dramatically.
She quickly placed a hoof on her abdomen, counting the seconds for her foals usual kick. When she neared the time passed, she started to lose faith until a firm yet light kick hit her forehoof. She let go of her pent up breath and smiled sadly. She turned to Rainbow Dash, who was now inspecting the band around her.
"Is it still kicking?" asked Celestia, concerned for her daughter-in-law's foal. Dash quickly placed a hoof over her stomach and waited. After a few seconds she sighed in relief and nodded.
"So, any idea what's going on? I doubt our wives are going to pop out of nowhere and we have beautiful bound sex." asked Dash, leaning up against the wall. Celestia did the same and gave the room another look over,
"Well, we are in a cave that few know exist, we were knocked out along with a room full of ponies, and seem to be the only ones here. Then we have the fact that our wings are bound and there is a ring on my horn keeping both my magic and demon at bay. Lastly, I think I smell a self-righteous asshole around the corner."
"Oh fuck you!" called out a voice.
"And we have a winner! Good evening, Blueblood. I hope you enjoyed the wedding?" said Celestia as the white unicorn made himself known.
"Oh yes. I especially enjoyed the part when the whole entire reception fell like rag dolls to knock-out gas." said Blueblood.
"That's part of the reception, not the wedding, jackass." spat Rainbow. Blueblood glared at her, making Dash smirk. "Come on in here, then. I may not fly, but I can still kick your ass through the wall and then some, even when I'm preggo."
"Doesn't matter anyways. Within a few hours this will be over and Prince Blueblood will come in and fill in for the dearly departed princesses." said the former prince, smirking.
"Bravo, bravo. I must applaud you if it wasn't for the fact that your retarded enough to forget that me and Luna control the sun and moon. How come the idiots always want to kill me?" said Celestia, slowly clapping her hooves. Blueblood grinned this time.
"Oh, that's why we are going to pry the spells out of you."
"And makes you think I will talk?" she asked, raising an eyebrow. Blueblood's eyes flashed for a brief second. His horn lit and a wisp of golden magic made its way towards Dash's bulging belly.
"I have some leverage. I think I should start with dear Twilight's foal. I never seemed to figure out why somepony like her could rise to god hood and become a ruler." Dash's eyes widened in terror as the wisp barely brushed against her stomach. She could feel the foal recoil from the touch, causing her to wince in pain.
"She deserves it as a right of blood and you know it! What kind of monster are you to turn something she can't help against her and use it as an excuse to kill an unborn foal!" screamed Celestia.
"I'm no monster! I am guiding Equestria to a better path, freeing it of the reign of you scum!" steamed Blueblood.
"Last I checked, scum don't try to protect their country as best as they can within their power. Scum bind two pregnant mares in cells and demand spells out of them at the price of their unborn foals. Then, after getting said spells, murder them and the rest of the family." said Celestia, glaring holes into Blueblood. Unfortunately for her, the sun was already set so conjuring up would be difficult, especially since she couldn't use her magic to guide it.
"Well, this petty argument is useless. I will come back later. I suppose you make up your mind or Miss Dash is going to lose her first ever foal." With that, Blueblood left, leaving a terrified Rainbow Dash and a pissed off Celestia.
"H-he wouldn't actually do it, would he?" asked Rainbow, visibly shaking. Celestia scooted over to her and wrapped her hooves around her.
"Calm down, hun. Being stressed out is going to hurt the foal. Just take deep breaths and we will be fine." said Celestia, patting her back.
"But how?" she asked, scared out of her wits. "Blueblood will be back and he will ask for the spells and if we don't give it to him..." she trailed off before breaking into sobs again.
"Then we will give it to them. He will still want us alive as leverage." said Celestia, quiet enough that only Rainbow could hear. "Besides, he and everypony will not live long enough to use the spells. Chrysalis can smell our fear and Blueblood's momentary victory." She leaned closer so her mouth was brushing against Rainbow's ear. "Besides, our whole entire family consists of demons." said Celestia, smirking. Rainbow stared at her before smiling. They had a plan, all they needed was for Chrysalis to find them and let their wives go nuts.
________________________________________________________________________________________
"What if they were killed, what if they are just trying to use them? If that is true what if we don't go for it? What if...."
"Shut up, Twilight! I can't focus with your panic! It completely throws off the emotions." growled Chrysalis. She exactly couldn't blame Twilight for her trauma born anxiety but it was getting annoying when she was trying to help save ponies lives. Chrysalis took a deep breath before mentally casting herself mentally once again.
In this mental state, she could pretty much see through walls and see the different emotions a pony was feeling. It was an effective war tactic but was easily when one learned to control their emotions and hide them. Celestia was one of the first to learn this technique and hopefully dropped it after being captured so she could be sought out by Chrysalis.
In her mental form, Chrysalis took a quick look around to see how well it was working. Four alicorn shapes, four pony shapes, and one draconian, each filled with worry and anger. Out of them all, Luna and Twilight shone the brightest. Dark tendrils seeped from them. It took Chrysalis to figure those to be the small bits of demonic energy that the two had. It was also a sign on how much of their sanity was left.
She was confused to find a small pocket of space by Cadence giving off similar tendrils. Returning to her body, Chrysalis turned to Cadence and frowned.
"I'm going to need him, Cadence." she said, her gaze stern. Everyone except Cadence was confused. Cadence, however, was shocked. "I can sense him and I need him."
"What for?" she asked, gaining back some composure.
"He has a talent for crystals. If my suspicions are correct, we may need to scope out the caves. It's too dangerous for you alone, but if you remerged..."
"You want me to remerge with him?" asked Cadence, completely baffled. Chrysalis nodded in response.
"What are you two talking about?" said Trixie, looking utterly confused. The others in the room nodded.
"I keep the horn that Sombra is trapped in inside a pocket of space next to me. Chryssy wants me to remerge with him." she said, in thought about the idea.
"Is it even possible to remerge with your demon? Besides, wouldn't he turn against us?" asked Twilight.
"Sombra is a she, Twilight." said Cadence. Twilight stammered a bit. "Sombra was originally a female before my rise but turned male in a small miscalculation when I separated us. And yes, I can remerge with her."
"Will you do it?" asked Chrysalis. Cadence thought for a moment before nodding. Chrysalis nodded back before motioning for everyone to step back. Once she had enough room, Cadence reached out with her magic and connected with Sombra.
"Somra?" called out Cadence. There was a bout of laughter before the form of Sombra appeared infront of her, once again female. "Well, the crystal heart helped you as well as defeated you, it looks like." she said with a smile.
"Meh, I was close to figuring out how to turn back anyways. Now, from what I gather you want to merge once again?" asked Sombra, raising an eyebrow.
"Yes. I don't want to force you into this so please accept."
"Alright."
"Now please be...wait, you accept?" asked Cadence, expecting some resistance.
"I die without a host after a period of time, Cadence. I don't plan on dying soon. Besides, I could probably settle down a tiny bit." said the demonic demon of greed. Though, in all honesty, Cadence no longer knew what Sombra represented at the time.
"Alright. Let's get this over with since I'm being watched. You are going to be in control once we merge. Chrysalis is going to need you to help her scout out the Crystal Caves. Please, no murder."
"Help changeling, find missing wives, set loose demonic wives/mothers, and no ripping out entrails. Got it." said Sombra, a grim on her face. Cadence sighed and face hoofed.
"I thought demons are supposed to be the opposite of their hosts." she said with a groan.
"This just means I'm warming up to you." said the demon. Cadence shook her head before engulfing them in her magic.
The group watched as Cadence swirled in black magic, letting the demon invade her body. Her coat gained a dark shade of gray while her mane turned pitch black. After a few moments, they were facing a taller Sombra, this time wings attached. The first thing to notice, however, was his female appearance.
"What? The crystal heart did more then send my ass away, you know." she said. Chrysalis shook her head.
"Alright Sombra, I hope Cadence, filled you in?"
"Find missing princess and Pegasus, no murder, let loose wives and watch with a bag of popcorn as they tear apart the caves and whoever is in their way."
"That about sums it up." said Chrysalis with a nod. "Now let's get going before Trixie death hugs me and begs me not to leave."
"Hey!"
"Oh don't deny it." said Chrysalis with a smirk. Trixie pouted and turned away. Chrysalis turned to Luna and Twilight. "Be prepared to up hold those vows, you two." They nodded grimly. With that, Chrysalis and Sombra, the unlikely saviours, left the room, heading towards the crystal caves.
___________________________________________________________________________________________
"So...what is this between you and Trixie?" asked Sombra. They were currently walking down the stairwell that led down to the caves. It was hidden behind one of the passages but was easy enough for Chrysalis since she had to memorize them. Chrysalis glanced back at the suddenly social demon.
"And I should trust a demonic creature of the alicorn that wants me dead why?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Hey! We both have similar interests at times and you currently happen to be one of them." said the demon defensively.
"Okay." replied Chrysalis. She turned her attention back to the spiraling stair case. "I was found beaten, blind, and starved outside of Canterlot last week. Somehow, I ended up there even though I've been blind for two years. Anyways, Trixie handled my case and had to feed me somehow...." she trailed off, letting the situation hang. Sombra thought for a moment before grinning.
"So, you got laid." Chrysalis stopped and stared at him, slack jawed.
"What the fuck? No! She kissed me! Just a quick peck! That's it!" she said blushing. She looked away, her cheeks turning a brighter crimson. "That was when we started dating a few days later."
"I knew it!" cheered Sombra, feeling proud of herself. Chrysalis rolled her eyes before continuing.
"Anyways, I started to tell she was falling for me, and admittedly, I started to do the same. Suprisingly, it was her mother who got us together."
"Figures, Lulu is always trying to ship ponies." said a voice that sounded a lot like Cadence. Sombra stopped, puzzled for a bit.
"Um, how did you...?" Sombra's eyes went back to their normal green and red.
"Oh, I figured out how to switch enough that she is control but has full use of my body and powers. I just get to sit back and enjoy the show." Her eyes switched back to Cadence's.
"You lazy bitch! Putting all your work on me!" Then back to Sombra.
"Oh please, it's not too much. Crawl in crystals, find two ponies, head back and tell Luna and Twilight all with out blood shed."
"That's still not fair!" Chrysalis passed under a dark silver doorway as she made it into the caves.
"Quit your whi-" Sombra was cut off as she was flung back. She yelled out in pain with a voice that had a mixture of both mares. "What the fuck?!" Chrysalis examined the doorway. She took a bit of it on her hoof and licked it.
"Gross. Lead." said the changeling. Sombra paled.
"Lead? Well, this just made shit complicated." said the demon.
"Why?" There was a bright flash and Cadence stood before her.
"Lead is pretty much a magic suppressor for demons. Except this has been made into a doorway and, obviously, is keeping whatever demons inside useless and demons on the outside out. They are prepared." said Cadence, looking over the doorway. "Luna and Twilight are strong enough to summon their demons while inside, but they will be weak. Celestia probably has a lead magic suppressor on considering I don't hear cries of pain and creepy ass laughter."
"So I'm on my own to find them?" asked Chrysalis.
"Considering I can't morph into a AC guard, yes. Have fun!" said Cadnece in a mocking voice.
"Fuck you too, Caddy. Just make sure Trix is okay. I will not be happy if she has so much as a hair misplaced." There was something in the changelings eyes that made Cadence shiver and shrink back. She nodded before running up the stairs. Chrysalis sighed and looked around the caves. "Oh joy."
____________________________________________________________________________________
Chrysalis was disguised as a dark green unicorn stallion with a golden mane. She was wearing obsidian Armour that made her shift with unease. She scanned around the caves, her spear held firmly next to her in a blue aura. It was a subconscious thing that she had little control of and was not liking.
"You there, soldier!" said male voice, dripping with self-rightesnous. She only heard Blueblood's voice once and that was at Cadence's wedding, but there was no mistaking it now. She turned around to see the unicorn stallion walk up to him. "I need you to watch over the prisoners. They seemed to have sent another guard down to the hospital wing. I'm sure you know the way?" Chrysalis swallowed and nodded.
"What the fuck have you been doing, Tia?" she whispered to herself. After a few minutes she came to the cells. Her eyes widened as she took in their states. Both Celestia and Rainbow had their wings bound and Tia had what she assumed as lead magic suppressor on her horn.
"Another one? Haven't they learned after the last one?" said Celestia, shaking her head. A small sphere a yellow light formed in front of her, her earrings glowing. Chrysalis knew enough that the beam would not burn through the bands or cell, but could do damage.
"Tia wait, it's me!" said Chrysalis franticly. She looked down the hallway for a second and dropped her disguise. She groaned as the Armour cut into her. Celestia's eyes widened.
"Chrysalis?" she asked. Chrysalis nodded, changing back.
"The one and only. Look, I can't get you out. Blueblood has this place looked down and enough lead to make your demon throw up. Now, I'm just here as messenger and goal point." she said, her horn lighting up briefly. "They are on their way. Now, I need for you to explain what has happened to you two."
"Well," started Celestia, looking away. "They may have found out how to raise and lower the sun and moon." she said. Chrysalis stared at her.
"Why the fuck did you do that?!" she whispered sharply.
"Because they were going to kill my foal." Chrysalis turned to see Rainbow Dash curled up in the corner, stroking her belly. Her eyes widened.
"Is it still alive?"
"Yes. He didn't touch to badly but enough for her to cough up blood." said Celestia, pointing to a puddle of blood next to her. Chrysalis sighed.
"Anything else?"
"They said they plan on killing Trixie next."
Author's Note
And there we go. Yep, Sombra is actually a chick and is now once again part of Cadence. (And apparently acts like her sometimes.) Not the best demon of the group. (She must have been picked on by Moony and Solar when they were in Demon High School.) I don't even think that's a thing. (Well it is now.) Okay then. Alright. I made this very interesting. And now we threw Chrysalis into the bin of extremely pissed alicorns ready to brutally murder ponies! (Yay!)
Solar Child: Burden of the Crown
Chapter Thirteen: And then there was blood
"Why do I have to stay behind? My marefriend is down there!" protested Trixie. Trixie was stuck in the throne room, Shining Armour at her side in his full uniform.
"Because we were told to keep you up here and none of us want to see what a pissed changeling looks like after directly feeding." said Shining. It was true enough. When Chrysalis sent the message, she stressed that Trixie should stay. It sent Luna stumbling when she received it.
"Fine. But why does Cadence get to go then? She is weaker than me." she pointed out.
"Because she has the caves memorized after spending a great deal of time in them. They need a guide and Chrysalis can't guide them without giving up disguise and getting killed." said Shining, starting to get tired of the mares whining.
"I just feel useless." said Trixie, catching Shining's attention. "Chrysalis promised to be careful and that she would protect me. But who protects her? I...I just don't want my first love to die before I get to expirence anything with her." said Trixie with a small sigh.
"And do you think she will let herself be killed that easily?" asked Shining. Trixie looked over at him with misted eyes. "She knows you are waiting and that you would be devastated if she died. She will do everything she can to make sure she comes back." he said with a smile. Trixie smiled back, feeling more confident.
______________________________________________________________________________________
"They're coming!" shouted one of the AC guards. Chrysalis smirked and looked back at Celestia. She was similarly smirking.
"Alright, you two stay put and protect yourselves the best you can. I'm going to deal with a certain blue Pegasus." said Chrysalis, turning away from the cell. She grabbed her spear and ran forward.
"Now, where are you, you dragon bitch?" she grumbled, looking left and right among the mass of running bodies. They were all heading towards the entrance she came from earlier to get into the caves.
"Spears and swords ready! Cross-bows at the ready! They may not be in demon but they still are dangerous!" shouted a female voice. Directing ponies to the stairwell was a blue drake with red spines. She pointed and directed with a claw, a fermions scowl on her face.
The first wave at the base was blasted away by a midnight blue beam of energy. The battle of the Crystal Caves had begun and Chrysalis was sure that it wouldn't last long. As Luna and Twilight made themselves visible, ponies rushed at them, flailing swords, spears, and charging horns. Blaze stood back and barked orders.
"I don't think so!" shouted Chrysalis, dropping her disguise. She was already practically over the drake as she turned to see the source of the voice. She could only manage a scream as Chrysalis drove the spear through her eye socket, the spear head making itself known out the other side before burying itself in the floor.
"And that's why we don't piss off changelings, children." said Chrysalis hopped off the body. She turned back to the battle front. Cadence was currently fighting off a few guards trying to jump her. Twilight and Luna were in similar situations but were handling them with ease.
"Good evening, Caddy!" said Chrysalis as she pounced on one of the guards next to the pink alicorn. She sinked her fangs into his neck amd jerked her head, tearing open an artery. A fountain of blood poured out of his neck as Chrysalis let go. "Blood never tasted the same as love. It's always too bitter to me." said the changeling.
"Now, I need to know where Trixie is." she said, looking Cadence directly in the eye.
"Well, um, you wanted us to keep her safe so Shining and a few other guards are with her in the throne room, why?" asked the alicorn. Chrysalis hopped over to her amd landed on the stairwell before looking back at her.
"Because the remainder of the army is on their way to kill her."
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Luna has had a good share of blood spilt onto her coat. Now was no exception and she seemed to enjoy every droplet of scarlet liquid that was spilt by her hooves or whatever weapon she picked up. The amount of gory carnage around her reminded her of so many wars with not much purpose or point. This one, however, had more purpose and point than any battle can dream of having.
Twilight, only ever having killed ten ponies and that time being under her demon's influence, the sensation to bodies falling under her was new, but was not unwelcome as she set her goal. Her wife and foal was all that mattered. Any stallion in black Armour idiotic enough to step infront of her learned fast how stupid and deadly of an idea it was.
Hundreds fell, only falling easier after Chrysalis impaled their captain. She still had her doubts about the changeling but she was soon showing to be trustworthy. The closer to the cells they got, the more frequent a guard fell before them. Cadence stood back awkwardly before falling next to them as a guide.
"Alright, it's right this way." said Cadence, pointing a hoof down a corridor. Twilight and Luna followed her, leaving the blood soaked room. The green tinted walls provided the needed light as they walked, keeping am eye out for the cells. They soon came into sight.
A guard sat outside, his eye socket billowing out smoke from where a very concentrated amount of solarmancy magic made its way through his skull. Celestia sat inside, panting. Rainbow was still curled up in the corner, stroking her belly as if it would vanish whatever trauma has occurred to them.
"Oh Faust, Rainbow!" Twilight ripped open the door before taking her wife in her hooves. Rainbow cried into her shoulder, embracing her as she did.
"Th-they were going to k-kill my f-foal." she sobbed.
"It's okay, your safe now." said Twilight, undoing her shackles and the band around her. Luna and Celestia broke apart from their kiss and Luna went to work on freeing her. Celestia looked around.
"Wait, where's Chrysalis?" she asked, not finding the former queen.
"I've been wondering that. I haven't seen her in the battle except when she killed Blaze. I have to give her props on that eye impalement." said Luna. Cadence bit her lip.
"She may have ran off to save Trixie." she said. Celestia thought for a moment before her eyes widened.
"Shit. I knew I should have stopped her." said Celestia. "Come on. We have to help her. Blueblood is probably already knocking down the throne room doors."
__________________________________________________________________________________________
"Get down!"
"Protect Trixie! Eliminate all threats!" The shouts got louder as Chryalis towards the throne room. Instead of turning down the hall that lead to the main doors to the room, she took a turn towards the study, planning to break through the side door and help from there.
"Oh Celestia, Princess down! Somepony get a medic!" The world seemed to stop. Chrysalis deemed doors to be a waste of time as she blasted an alicorn sized hole in the wall, starling everyone inside. It took her a moment to catch up on what she saw.
Black armoured soldiers facing against golden, Blueblood with a recently fired crossbow at the head of the AC army, and Shining Armour looking up at her from next to a bleeding Trixie's side. The azure alicorn had a wooden shaft protruding from her chest, thankfully not a kill shot but close enough to cause death if not treated immediately.
"Tr-tr-Trixie?" she asked, tears starting to steadily fall. Shining knew very well that alicorns were dangerous when pissed off and Chrysalis was no exception to this. He slowly moved himself and Trixie away, hiding behind the throne. Blueblood and the rest, however, were not as quick to receive this message,
"I think this is when you scream for your life." said Chrysalis coldly, a black mist forming around her. Her eyes were tinted with red and her pupils became slits. Her fangs grew an extra two inches in length and she seemed to tower above Celestia. Her body seemed to glow in dark magic, her hair becoming a sickly green and blood red. Her insect wings becoming massive. Blueblood stood his ground, albeit terrified, and watched as she transformed. The others tried to escape, but found the doors to be held in a black aura.
"Now, now. I haven't had my fun with you yet." she said with a chilling grin. Her voice was split into two tones, giving it a menacing sound. Shining made a note to NEVER piss off a alicorn changeling unless he wanted to die in the worst way imaginable.
Staying in her one spit, Chrysalis lit her horn, lifting up the whole army except Blueblood off of the ground. He horn grew darker, a second spell charging. The stallions in her grasp screamed in pain, their bodies dissolving from the inside as if they swallowed acid in some way. In reality, Chrysalis did something close. She turned their entire blood system into acid, eating away at every organ in their bodies.
She dropped the bodies which were emitting a gurgling sound as they were eaten away. She turned towards Blueblood, a look in her eyes made her seem like she gone insane with rage.
"I didn't forget about you, Bluey. You get the special treatment." said Chrysalis, her eye twitching. Blueblood started to back away but was captured in a black aura.
"I did nothing to you! We could have joined forces! Brought down the family ourselves! Every one of them deserves to die and you could have helped!" He pleaded. Out of all of the bad ideas Blueblood has ever done, speaking the way he did to who he did topped the cake.
"If anyone deserves to die, Blueblood." said Chrysalis, slowly drawing a hoof down his figure. "It's you." Her hoof flashed in green light and transformed into a dagger like form, piercing the stallion. She pulled it out enough that the tip was still inside. "You know, Sombra said something about how she would try not to rip out entrails. I might give it a try." The dagger-like hoof travelled upwards, cutting through his flesh.
Author's Note
(I'm scared.) I know, I know. Let this be a lesson, kids. Changeling alicorns are extremely powerful and even more when they feed directly such as Chrysalis. She is now the closest thing to Satan Equestria can get right now. The many of you wishing for Blueblood's slow and painful death, I can assure you ripping out of entrails is very painful and Chrysalis has the power to make him feel every minute of it. Now, next chap we will see what damage was done to Trixie and what emotional scarring Rainbow may have that will make appearances later. (Death to Bluebitch! Death to Bluebitch!) Oh how I agree. Kill the motherfucker!
Oh, and sorry for it being so short. I had a good word streak going on.
Solar Child: Burden of the Crown
Chapter Fourteen: Aftermath
The four alicorns and one Pegasus burst through the door, almost vomiting as the stench reaches their nostrils. The air smelled of blood, decay, and sulfuric acid. Celestia shook her head, pushing the stench away from her mind, and focused on the scene before her.
A large pile of black AC armor sat to the side twisted and disfigured and also seeming to be the source of the smell of acid. Next was the disfigured body laying on the ground in a pool of its blood and entrails. To her suprise, it's head turned to reveal Blueblood. His eye were dull and pleading. He made a gurgling sound that sounded close to 'Help'
"I told you to keep your mouth shut!" Celestia looked up to see Chysalis. She knelt in front of something while her horn glowed in a green aura. "Shit, Shining, place your hoof here. I need to pull out the bolt head that was left behind. She might try to move so keep her down." Shining, who sat next to her, nodded and leaned forward. There was a sickening sound of something sliding inside flesh and a pained scream that sounded too much like Trixie.
"Trixie?!" cried out Luna upon hearing her daughters voice. She was about to run forward when Chrysalis whipped her head around.
"Stop! There is acid on the floor and the royal guard already have acid related injuries after stepping in the wrong spot." she said. She looked back down at Trixie for a second. "Shining, keep pressure. I need to get rid of the acid quick." She stood and walked down to the base of the throne before lighting her horn in a black aura. The floor was covered in more blood than before as her earlier spell was released. She nodded before walking back up to the wounded alicorn.
"Alright, I did what I can now I need to close the wound. Shining, hand me that spear head." He nodded and floated over the sharp piece of iron. She grabbed it in her magic and switched her aura to a reddish orange color. The spear head soon grew hot. Her aura turned back to its usual green and she brought it down slowly towards the wound.
Trixie screamed as the hot metal made contact with her open wound. There was a sizzling sound as it stopped the bleeding. Using her magic, Chrysalis closed the wound. She lifted off the red hot spear head and threw it behind her, purposely making it land in the gaping hole in Blueblood's abdomen, making him release a high pitched gurgling scream.
"Oh shut up, you get to die in another ten minutes. Then you can go to hell and get ass raped by Satan for what's it worth." said Chrysalis, doing a quick check up on Trixie. "She seems fine, let's get her to the hospital staff so they can properly clean and close the wound. My work will only last temporarily."
"What did you do in here?" asked Twilight, looking around the blood stained throne room.
"I came just as Blueblood and his team kicked down the door. When I came in, Blueblood already got a shot off and hit Trix. Let's just say the entire AC army are now newly made blood puddles." explained Chrysalis, motioning to the blood puddles she recently made appear.
"And Blueblood?" asked Celestia, looking over at the stallion who now had a spear sticking up from very uncomfortable area. Rainbow Dash was walking back towards them with a satisfied grin.
"Let's just say she taught me how to dissect a living creature." said Shining.
"I basically put a spell on him to keep him alive for an hour even if I removed his head and caused him unimaginable pain. He can't die nor sleep nor lose consciousness." said Chrysalis. She sighed and looked around the room. "I knew I had a demon but I never used it. This was a first and I'm scared of it." she said Luna placed a hoof on her shoulder and smiled warmly.
"It's scary at first but you soon get over it. Ignore it, if you will." she said, brining the changeling into an embrace. "And I can't thank you enough for saving my daughter. You may not be married, but I will be more than glad to call you my daughter." Chrysalis cried into her shoulder. Luna looked over at the figure of Blueblood. She smiled evilly as she thought of something.
"I have a plan for our fallen stallion, here." she said, her voice causing Blueblood to shiver at what she could possibly mean.
"Oh?" asked Twilight, curious.
"What if we heal him, but keep the spells keeping him from sleeping and dying. Add a spell that causes him to heal at impossible rates so we can put him through whatever torture we want." proposed the night goddess. Chrysalis grinned, her fangs showing.
"As long as I get an hour with him, I'm okay with it." said Rainbow with a shrug. Celestia and Twilight nodded.
"And you don't need my approval. We all know I will put him through hell for entirety without hesitation." said Chrysalis.
"Then it's settled. Chryssy, if you would do the honors." said Luna, motioning to Blueblood. Chrysalis did a small curtsy before trotting towards the stallion, an evil smile that was enough to send the bravest demons cowering on her face. Her horn glowed a pitch black, covering Blueblood to the point where he was replaced by a black blotch. She placed the extra spell on him and waited until she could feel him fully healed.
"Good evening, Bluebitch." said Chrysalis as she released him. The stallion yelped and ran towards the door. He was soon suspended by a green aura. "Where are you going?" she said, shackling his hooves. She placed a collar on his neck and grabbed hold of the tether.
"Oh guards." said Chrysalis in a sing-song voice. Two guards walked into the room from outside, eyeing the numerous blood stains on the ground. "Will you please escort this stallion down to the cell in the lowest level of the dungeons. The five of us will be down there in the morning. And please fetch the medical ponies to pick up Princess Lulamoon." They nodded and trotted away, Blueblood being dragged away.
________________________________________________________________________________________
Trixie slowly opened her eyes, letting them adjust to the bright light of the room she was in. She immediately felt a sharp pain in her chest, throbbing with each beat of her heat. She gasped at the sudden felling and arched her back. A black, holed hoof appeared out of the edge of her vision and pressed down her stomach, bring her back down to the bed.
"Careful! I didn't murder a room of ponies for you to go and tear yourself open again." Trixie turned her head to see Chrysalis. The changeling had bags under her eyes and seemed to be exhausted as well as worried. Her mind caught up on what she said.
"You...murder....ponies?" she asked, her voice hoarse. Chrysalis levitated a glass of water to her lips where she greedily swallowed the whole glass. "You murdered ponies?" she asked again, finding her voice.
"Yes. You were attacked by the AC and Blueblood was able to get a shot off at you." Chrysalis placed a hoof on her chest. "He wasn't too far off." She sighed and leaned back into her seat and looked into her marefriend's waiting eyes. "I was close enough to hear the call for a medic. I bursted in to find you bleeding to death and Blueblood holding the crossbow.
"All my hate, rage, and grief came up at once, releasing my own demon. As a result, I killed a whole entire army by turning their blood into acid and sentenced Blueblood to an his entire life in endless pain. Not allowed to sleep or die until his time naturally comes. The past two days, me, Celestia, Luna, Twilight, and Rainbow Dash went down there in intervals and had an hour with him. This will go on for a few months before I place a spell to do the work for us.
"When I'm not torturing Bluebitch, I'm here, checking up on you. I can't stay in calm conscious knowing you still have yet to wake up. I love you, Trixie, and I will plunge this world into hell if that's what I need to do to keep you safe." Trixie sat up amd embraced the changeling the best she could.
"You stupid, lovely changeling. Oh how I love you." she said, crying into her shoulder, Chrysalis grabbed onto her and did the same. After awhile, Chrysalis broke off and stood.
"Well, it's my turn with Blueblood. Any requests?"
"Set his balls on fire from the inside, please." said Trixie with a smile that made you forget that her request was on how to torture a pony. Chrysalis nodded and left. Outside of the room sat Luna, waiting entrance.
"She's awake if you want to see her." said Chrysalis as she started down the hall.
"Wait, where are you going." asked Luna.
"To fulfill a request." said Chrysalis, looking back with and evil smile. Luna sat there for a moment before smiling in realization. She nodded to the changeling before going into the hospital room. "Get ready, Blueblood. You are going to need it."
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Chrysalis tossed the bag containing Blueblood's stallion hood down the shoot to be incinerated. Said stallion was screaming in pain as he tried to get over having the feeling of his balls on fore then having them and his dick swiftly chopped off. He has only been there two days and was surprised he was still alive until he remembered the spells.
Chrysalis grabbed his horn that they each chopped off before starting, to prevent any unwanted attacks. Taking the alabaster horn in her hoof, she drove it into his eye socket, shoving as far she could.
"Until next time, Bluey." said Chrysalis, patting the end of the horn. She turned around and walked out of the cell. She then teleported to the room she shared with Trixie and walked into the bathroom, keen on washing the blood and whatever else she had gotten on her chitin.
After a refreshing bath, she turned to the small pile of work she was told to look over. It was nothing major so she didn't make major mistakes due to the lack of her knowledge of Equestria's legal system. She sighed as she looked them over. She was torn from them as there was a knock on the door.
"Enter." she said, looking up to see Celestia walk in. The alicorn had a small smile on her face. "You better not have more work." said Chrysalis, turning back to the offending piled on the desk. She glared at them, wishing for them to be finished.
"Nope. No work. But a bit of a tough request." she said, still giving a sheepish smile.
"Why? What is it? I doubt there is much I find difficult unless it's some huge project that I have to look up a hundred building laws." She shuddered at the thought.
"No. Just a peace treaty negotiation. Twilight and Rainbow already went on their honeymoon, Luna has to head off to the gryphon empire, and I have plenty of other work. You are the only option at this point." Chrysalis sighed.
"Alright. Who am I negotiating with?"
"The queen of your old hive?" said Celestia, preparing herself.
"What?!" she yelled out. Celestia winced at the noise. "You want me to negotiate with the exact same queen from the exact same hive that wanted me dead?!"
"Chrysalis, the faster we mend this feud between you and that hive, the faster we can secure Equestria safe from further attacks from that hive. We both know as long as you are here and in a very steady relationship with Trixie, they will be against us unless we can convince otherwise." pleaded the white alicorn. Chrysalis put a hoof to her temple and rubbed it.
"Fine. But if you find dead changelings in the throne room, please be ready for war." said Chrysalis, standing.
"Thank you. They are waiting. There will be a pony to take note of the entire meeting." said Celestia, smiling. Chrysalis waved her hoof dismissively.
"Yeah, yeah. You're lucky this family has grown on me." she said, marching to the inevitable shitstorm ahead.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Queen Swarm sat on the padded coushin infront of the empty golden throne. The changeling stood at a smaller size than Chrysalis by about a head and had a more purple mane. Her eyes and chitin the hive color of green. She tapped her hoof impatiently as she waited.
"I'm sorry for the wait, ma'am, but we are currently trying to get ahold of our temporary princess at the moment. The other two are very busy and Celestia is as well." said the squire, a brown Pegasus. Swarm arched an eyebrow.
"Wasn't there a Princess Lulamoon? What about her?" The squire winced and pointed at the marble floor. She followed his gaze to see a very faint blood stain.
"We had an attack a few days ago and she was injured. The attackers were killed but blood is not easy to clear fully in two days." said the Pegasus. The changeling nodded and focused on the throne once again, tracing the engravings with her eyes.
The door to the side of the throne opened to reveal a grey unicorn squire. The brown Pegasus rushed to his side and stood on the other side of the door.
"In the stead of the respectable princesses is temporary princess and consort to Princess Lulamoon, her respected Chrysalis." Swarm jolted upright and whipped her head to the door as she heard the name.
The taller alicorn changeling walked in, her mane shining as if she took a recent bath. Her insect like wings had small blood stains on them that refused to come off, showing she had recently been in battle and probably helped create some of the blood stains. She stopped at the foot of the throne and looked sadly at the base. Swarm followed to find a noticeably large stain. She winced as she figured where it came from.
"Nice to see you again, Swarm. Thankfully in a better situation then before." said Chrysalis, sitting in the throne. She looked at it for a second the looked over at the lavender unicorn sitting next to the throne. She had a dark blue man and what looked like a ink pot for a cutie mark.
"Excuse me miss, what is your name?" she asked. The mare looked up at her, thrown off at the question.
"Oh, um, I'm Swift Quill, your Majesty." said the mare. Chrysalis chuckled at the name.
"Been two years since I heard that. Now, Miss Quill, I'm guessing you are my scribe for this meeting?" She nodded. "Alright. Now, are you familiar with most laws that retain to the subject of this meeting?" Another nod. "Good. I may rely on you for help if I need to know certain laws. Those books are a bit difficult to read and memorize in two days." she said, winking. Swift smiled and nodded.
"Now, Queen Swarm, as only formal I must ask why you wanted audience with the throne." said Chrysalis, gaining a serious look on her face. Swarm shook off her initial shock from seeing the changeling.
"Well, I must ask how you were able to trick a entire family of alicorns." she asked, curious on how it was possible. Chrysalis had a confused look.
"Pardon? I was dying, starving, and blind in the Everfree for two years. I was found only two weeks ago. I didn't trick anypony." said the former changeling queen. Swarm scoffed.
"Am I supposed to believe that? You probably are using the whole family as a food source. You probably just protected Trixie as the blood stains suggest because you didn't want anypony to kill your food." said the queen with a smirk. She was completely shocked when she sensed outrage, pain, grief, and love all from the changeling alicorn.
"What kind of cold, sick, monster do you think I am?!" she shouted, making Swift jump. She quickly started to jot in her scrolls again. "I did NOT steal Trixie's love nor do I fake it! She loves me for me and I love her for her!" She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "Now, I promised Tia that I would settle peace with your hive while she deals with her work and checks on Trixie. So, let's get to that, shall we?
"Now, what terms have you made for peace with Equestria?" asked the alicorn. Swarm took a moment to arrange her thoughts.
"We steady shipment of supplies to the hive. We also ask for the ability to walk freely in Equestria and make homestead there if need be. Finally, the ability to feed." stated the queen. Chrysalis thought for a moment.
The shipments were no problem. They probably wanted it so they didn't have to go through the extra shipping trouble. Living in Equestria would be simple enough after the original outburst subsided. What really was the problem was their feeding. She was able to feed off Trixie without force because Trixie showed care, friendship, and love, the basic needs for changeling feeding. For her to allow the changeling hive into Equestria, she had to lay down laws to prevent attacks and incidents.
"Well, supplies are easy enough, as well as living. Feeding will be difficult. I will have to set-up laws focusing souly on changelings and feeding. Is that possible, Swift?" asked Chrysalis, looking down at her trusty scribe. Swift Quill went into thought for a moment.
"Possibly. We could create a bill and send it to the shipping industries for easy shipment. Another set of bills to the board of real-estate should handle changelings owning or renting apartments or homes. Lastly, laws restricting them to feeding off of emotions given to them and not taken forcibly such as taking another form should be able to stop any incidents. The bills should take a day or two, the laws a week or more debating on how the nobles take to this." said Swift.
"You remind me of Twilight SO much right now." said Chrysalis with a shake of her head. Swift gave a big smile of pride in response. "Alright. Get into getting the bills and laws written. Have me and Celestia. I set them up but Tia is still Princess. Once they are signed, send the bills to where they need to go and have the nobles sign off on it. Blueblood is out of the picture so this should be simple." said Chrysalis. Swift nodded and trotted off.
"I still think you are foolish for putting so much trust into ponies as you are." said Swarm, shaking her head. Chrysalis walked up to her and stared her down, making Swarm feel very small.
"Listen to me, child. I am centuries older than you and have more expirence in this world. So don't you talk to me about what is foolish and what is not. Because, so far, you are foolish enough to talk to a changeling alicorn who has been in this game much longer than you. You are dismissed, Queen Swarm." said Chrysalis. She turned around and headed out of the throne room, leaving a very confused and very scared Swarm to try and figure out what had just happened.
Author's Note
I must say, Chrysalis is a bad-ass. And am I the only one who thinks the transition from Chrysalis in the halls to just finishing up torturing Blueblood seems a lot like the character transitions in GTA V? It could have been Trevor doing that to some random guy! (What's with all these things seeming like we pulled them from GTA V?) We just love the game. (True enough.)
Now, this is a usual dropping point for a lot of readers. Now, the cruelty from the main cast was intentional. This is the remnants of the more darker sides of their beings showing. Rainbow has a demon as well, just like every soul. It's a Pegasus demon considering she is a Pegasus herself. But, alicorn demons are the only ones that can walk on Equus. But other demons can influence the thought process of normal ponies, altering their actions and making them do things they normally wouldn't. Rainbow's connection with her own demon was strengthened when she married Twilight. One of the downfalls of marrying a alicorn. This will also kinda show up in a chapter or so.
Solar Child: Burden of the Crown
Chapter Fifteen: Monsters
Authors Note: A real turn off for a lot of readers is the way the characters are seeming actual monster like outside of their demon forms. This was completely intentional for a deep set up that now is about to pour out. Warning: Feels may be in danger.
Monster. It was a common word for Chrysalis, but why did it sting so much? Why was it that whenever someone even muttered it or when Blueblood would yell it between screams, it hurt her?
Because it's true." she thought. It rang clear in her mind and made so much sense that it was the answer. They let their emotions, their rage, their love, blind them. While blind, they became the one thing they tried to deny, the one thing they tried to defend against, the one thing that scared them to the core. Monsters.
"We're monsters." she stated. The entire table of ponies stopped eating and turned to her. She looked up from her plate and looked at them. "We ARE monsters." she stated, her eyes tearing up.
"Babe, what do you mean?" asked Trixie as she put a hoof on her shoulder, concerned.
"We let our emotions fog our minds and we became what we feared. We murdered, tortured, imprisoned, and so much more without thought. We became the exact things that were screamed at us every time the AC got near us. We became the monsters we oh so feared." said Chrysalis, crying. The others sat in a shocked silence, realization dawning on them.
Chrysalis' horn glowed a pitch black, lasting a few seconds, before fading out. She called out to the guards. Two armoured pegasi came in, each one unfazed by the call.
"The last cell in the lowest level contains mutilated and dismembered body parts. I want you dispose of all the remains and torch the cell. You are dismissed." They gave a sharp salute and trotted out the door.
"Isn't that..."
"Blueblood's cell? Yes, it was. I removed all the spells. He was able to sleep, die, and return to what he would look like without the healing spell." said Chrysalis, cutting off Rainbow. "Look at us. For decades, the royal family has been called monsters and tyrants. We keep denying the claims and yet here we are. We could have imprisoned them, but we slaughtered. We could have had a trial, but we had mass execution. We could have let Blueblood die, but I let him live hours after he was due to leave.
"We have been called monsters and tyrants but isn't that what we are after all we have done? Tell there is more justification than just 'We were blinded by love and hate.' because I would love to hear it." The ponies at the table lowered their heads.
"What do we do?" asked Twilight, still shocked at the realization.
"We do the only thing we can short of stepping down." said Celestia. "We destroy all evidence, destroy all records, erase memories if need is be. After all that, we can either wipe our own minds or live with our greatest foly and one of the darkest stains in our rule of Equestria." The table was silent. Rainbow stood up and placed her hooves on the table.
"We need to do it. I don't want my foal born into a life stained because we were stupid and blind. I want her to live in a world where she can always see a brighter side and a antigovernment group isn't trying to kill us." said Rainbow, catching everyone's attention. "You have to agree, Celestia, expecting your own. And Trixie, what about when you and Chrys have foals? Do want this life for them?" They nodded their heads in agreement to her words. Celestia stood.
"Alright, the spell I used when dealing with Twilight's faked death worked easy enough but we have to go on a larger scale by wiping the memory of that night from every guard in the castle and twisting the story to just a terrorist attack. Half of the army was killed when the unstable caves they were hiding in collapsed in on them. The rest were killed in all out war in the throne room." said Celestia.
"What about us?" asked Luna.
"We live with it. Rainbow lives with her twins death. Twilight her kidnappings, Luna her days of Nightmare Moon, Trixie her life when she was a hated showmare, Chrysalis when she invaded Canterlot, and I live with my own mistakes. This one is just another to remember and live with like we always have. We cannot forget. That is our punishment." They nodded in agreement. "Now let us begin."

Vinyl Scratch sat across the table from her wife, Octavia Melody. She sat and ate her Scootscrunch cereal while bobbing her head to one of her own tracks, the bass pounding loud enough for Octavia to hear from across the tables despite the headphones.
Vinyl looked up at her wife to see her reading Equestria Daily. She gave the cover a quick look over, finding the usual bullshit that they usually had in there, until she looked at the headline.
Terror in Canterlot Castle: The story behind the royal wedding kidnapping Vinyl's breakfast was shot out of her mouth and Octavia found the paper absent from her hooves, finding it in her partners hooves.
"Vinyl, dear, I wasn't exactly finished with that, you know." she said, annoyed.
"I know, Octy, but they finally have what happened at the wedding. I was there when it happened and saw how they reacted." She directed her gaze back to the paper. "Just what the fuck did happen?"
During the reception of the two newly wed royal couples, Princess Celestia and Element of Loyalty Rainbow Dash were kidnapped from the reception while the party was under from the effects of knock-out gas.
Reports have can out that the guard was able to recover the two pregnant mares before the cave the terrorists behind the kidnapping were killed in a cave in.
Another force of terrorists were able to make their way inside the main castle and engaged in a full war inside the royal throne room. During this fight, Princess Lulamoon took a crossbow bolt to the chest and is currently in recovery.
The few captured from the attack committed suicide shortly after capture. It was later reported that former noble Prince Blueblood was killed during the raid. Details on his death are unknown.
Vinyl put down the paper and placed her hooves under her chin. She stared off into the distance.
"You know, Tavi, I always thought that ponies were crazy for ridiculing ponies for being gay. After awhile, I got over it. But this?" She tapped the paper. "That's insane. It makes me scared of what could happen to us just because we are together. Why is it no one cam understand and just leave us alone?" asked the white unicorn, crying silently. Octavia walked over amd wrapped her hooves around her wife.
"Nothing will happen, I promise. And if something does, we will get through it."
______________________________________________________________________________________
It was done. One of the greatest secrets in Equestria was hidden and was in no way going to be revealed for centuries to come. For the second time in a decade, Celestia hid a dark secret. It hurt her to lie to her ponies but she had to. She could not let it get out.
"Now we wait for the dust to settle." said Chrysalis, laying her head against the back of her chair.
"Now it's just keeping it a secret." said Luna. "Holy fuck I feel guilty."
"We did commit mindless slaughter and hid it from an entire country." said Rainbow, laying down on her side.
"Just don't let yourselves forget. Let this be a reminder why we must always be careful." said Celestia. They nodded.
Author's Note
Like was said above. This was to explain the monster like behaviour of our main ponies. This may not be a satisfying explanation to some. But keep in mind on how true this is. Emotions can blind us and drive us into insanity if we aren't careful. It drove them to become something they feared. It was a quick explanation chapter right after the aftermath of it all. Until next time.
Solar Child: Burden of the Crown
It had been six months after the AC incident and things were once again returning to normal. Well, not really. What's the fun in 'normal'? Nothing. And thus this.
"Chrysalis! Get your ass back here!"
"I said it was an accident." Luna looked up from her copy of Equestria Daily and turned her head to the dining hall doors where she could hear the yelling of her daughter and her marefriend. She looked over at Celestia who just shrugged.
The door bursted open and Chrysalis vaulted over the table, using one of the chairs as a shield. Trixie soon came in after her.
"Why did you do that?!" she yelled, causing the changeling to flinch.
"It was completely accidental and I had no clue I did it till this morning." said the changeling, poking her head out from behind the chair. Trixie huffed and sat down, crossing her hooves.
"I'm sorry, what's going on?" asked Luna, massaging her temple. Trixie looked away for a moment and mumbled something. "I'm sorry, honey, I think I'm going deaf. What was that?"
"I said I'm pregnant!" Swarm, one of the newest monarchs in the castle, slowly backed up into the hall and deemed it better to talk politics with Chrysalis later. The room, however was completely silent. Chrysalis slowly made her way to the kitchen doors, hoping to escape before she received Luna's fury. Oh how close she was.
"You got my daughter PREGNANT?!" yelled the moon princess, holding Chrysalis by the tail in her magic. Chrysalis could feel her blood rush to her head.
"It was an accidental magic discharge. I felt it but I didn't know the spell until this morning." said Chrysalis, shielding herself with her hooves. Luna huffed and dropped her to the ground. "Why do I have a feeling this is going to be a shitty day?"
"Easy. You knocked up the daughter of the Moon Goddess." said Rainbow, smirking.
"Hey Twilight, did you know Rainbow has a stack of porno magazines featuring the hottest mares in Equestria?" said Chrysalis, smirking.
"Leaving!" said Rainbow, trotting to the door. Half way there, she groaned and leaned forward, gripping her stomach. Chrysalis was barely able to hear it over the laughter, but she was able to hear the sound of water hitting ground.
"Um, guys?" They stopped and looked over to Rainbow who was staring at something between her hind legs. She looked up at them with a shocked look.
"My water broke." Twilight is never the one to take things calmly.
"She's not supposed to be here for another week! What do we do? I mean, we need to get her delieverd, but all of my planning is messed up and.."
"Twilight! Calm down." said Celestia, putting a hoof on her shoulder. "There is no reason to pa-" she leaned forward and grunted. A wet feeling trickling down her leg. "Lulu, please tell that's not what I think it is."
"It's not what you think it is?" she said with a sheepish smile. Celestia looked down and saw the wet spot on the floor.
"You just have to come out at the same time, don't you?" asked Celestia, staring at her belly. She took a few deep breaths. "Okay, we need to hurry up and get us to the hospital wing." Another contraction. "Now!"
___________________________________________________________________________________
"This has been an interesting morning. Waking up, pregnancy, and having to sit in the waiting room while two mares have their foals at the exact same time." said Chrysalis as her and Trixie sat in the white washed waiting room of the hospital wing. Swam was busy dealing with political problems in her hive so wasn't able to make it. Chrysalis was thankful for that.
"If we ever have a second foal, you will be having it." said Trixie. Chrysalis sighed.
"I told you it was an accident. But in a sense, this accident is a gift. Though, I must wonder what a pony/changeling hybrid looks like." said Chrysalis, scratched her chin.
"Wasn't there ever a pony/changeling hybrid?" asked Trixie finding it curious.
"Centuries ago." said Chrysalis with a nod. "I just took throne when it was said to have happened. I had a shitload of political bullshit to take care of at the time that I never got to see what it looked like. Back then, changelings were treated as evil spirits from hell. They would go on hunts and burn them. The foal did not live long in a world like that."
"What about now?" asked the azure mare, running her belly. Chrysalis leaned over an kissed her on the forehead.
"They will be fine. Her parents hold high power in Equestria, changelings live in harmony with ponies, hell, other hives are joining together with Equestria. I couldn't ask for a safer world for our foal. A lot has changed in a few centuries." she said, stroking Trixie's mane.
"And that is why I love you." said Trixie, leaning her forehead against the changelings. The moment was perfect until an extremely loud scream tore them apart. It was followed by another, but from a different mare. Two sets of small lungs sang in their disharmony symphony.
They walked into the room that was set up for the two mares. The beds have been pushed closer together to allow them to see the others foal. They walked over to them to catch a glimpse of the new members to the family.
Celestia and Luna's daughter was a dark blue alicorn with dark pink mane, resembling Celestia's mane before Nightmare Moon. The filly squirmed slightly and opened her eyes, revealing to red orbs. The filly squealed happily and clamped her hooves over Celestia's muzzle, eliciting a chuckle from the alabaster alicorn.
"What do you want to name her?" asked Luna, nuzzling her cheek. Celestia thought for a moment. She smiled amd nuzzled the filly's head.
"Bright Night." she said, foregoing putting Solar or Lulamoon at the end such as they did before. Luna hummed in agreement and pecked her on the horn.
Rainbow held twins, much like her and her late brother were. Both were alicorn filly's. One being a darker shade of blue than her mother but sporting the same rainbow mane, the other a white alabaster coat with a light purple mane. The navy blue filly yawned and blinked open her eyes, revealing a bright magenta such as her grandmothers. The alabaster one did the same, revealing baby light green.
"Any names?" asked Twilight. Rainbow smiled.
"We had a Rainbow, a Spectrum, why not a Prism Dash." said the cyan mare, nuzzling the rainbow maned filly with her muzzle. Prism giggled at the soft touch. "You get to name the other one." said Dash, nodding to the alabaster filly that was exploring the room with her eyes, taking in the odd shapes around her.
"Glimmer. Glimmer Sparkle." said the lavender alicorn, nuzzling the alabaster one. Glimmer cooed and nuzzled back against her mothers snout. Chrysalis sighed happily at the sight and leaned her head against Trixie's shoulder. She looked down towards the forming foal in Trixie's stomach.
"You better be that cuddly." she said, poking her off at her marefriend's stomach.
"They were just conceived, Chryssy. I doubt they understand anything let alone able know how they will be like." said Trixie, shaking her head at the changeling.
"It was worth a try. I already know you are cuddly and I know I am." she said, grinning. Trixie giggled and kissed her snout.
"Come on, let's leave them to rest. They need it." said Trixie, guiding her out of the room. Chrysalis took a quick look back at the couples before following Trixie out the door.
Later that evening found Chrysalis sitting on the balcony alone. She stared up at the moon, watching it make its path through the sky. It was calming to watch and was perfect to let herself think.
She thought back to that morning and how the two now mothers seemed to glow as they held their daughters. They had so much care and love for them. It made her doubt if she would ever be like that for her own foal when it came in eleven months.
She was an insect that fed off of love, but was still loved for who she was. She thoughtlessly murdered because she couldn't control her emotions, but was forgiven. She kidnapped a princess, held them prisoner, and almost stole her husband because she was desperate, yet she was able to befriend that same princess.
She received so much but could she return it? Was she able to return the love that this foal would pour into her? Would she be able to protect it and keep it safe? These worries plagued her mind as she watched the moon approach it's zenith.
"You okay, Hun?" Chrysalis turned her head slightly to see a concerned Trixie in the door way. Chrysalis sighed and looked out over the sky once again.
"I don't know, babe." she said. Trixie trotted over and took a seat next up her, wrapping a wing around her. "I know we still got a few months, like, eleven, but I still can't help but worry I won't be a good enough mother. I'm worried I won't be able to love them enough or protect them. I-I'm just scared of messing up."
"And so is every expecting parent." said Trixie, nuzzling her marefriend. "I heard Tia and Rainbow Dash feel the same. It's only natural." She thought for a moment. "And I think I know a way to cheer you up." she said with a grin.
"How?" asked the changeling, curious to Trixie's cure.
"Go to sleep and I will show you sometime tomorrow." Chrysalis nodded before walking back inside, tired. Trixie's horn lit quickly before levitating a quill and paper before her.
"Dear Twilight. I need you to help me pick out an engagement ring..."
"So, you're really going to pop the question?" asked Twilight, walking next to Trixie as they travelled down the streets of Canterlot, the streets mixed with ponies and a few changelings.
"She believes she won't be able to love our daughter, don't ask me how I know, enough and that she won't be able to protect her." said Trixie, scanning the store windows for a jewelry store. "I think if she loves me and our daughter enough to marry me, than she will be able to love our daughter the way she needs to be. Besides, if she doubts herself, I could always pull out her vows." she said with a smirk. Twilight giggled.
"Seems sound enough. Does Luna know you plan on proposing to her?" asked Twilight.
"She does and she was more than glad. Between you, me, Rainbow, Bright, and soon Chryssy, I can't believe those two are sane." said the azure with a smirk.
"I don't believe there is a single sane pony in our family." The two princesses broke out in laughter. They soon came upon a top class jewelry. Trixie smiled and walked in. She didn't want anything too fancy but she didn't want to go to a regular one and get stared at. Here, they gaped for a few seconds before remembering who they were in front of.
Behind the counter stood a grey unicorn with a blue mane. He was inspecting one of the three diamonds he had on the counter. In Trixie's eyesight, however, he appeared to be surrounded by a blue aura.
"May I see your license for that form?" she asked, causing the stallion to jump at the sudden noise. Changelings, by law, had to have a license for the forms they take unless its official buisness. Guards, local officials, and all monarchs in the castle had a spell that allowed them to tell the difference between a pony and a changeling in pony form.
"Of course, ma'am." said the disguised changeling. He took out his required paper work, letting Trixie look it over. The paper discribed the pony as well as provided a picture. It gave official records, name, talent, and changeling it belonged to.
"Why is it you hide as a jeweler?" asked Twilight as Trixie finished reading.
"Well, changelings scare off customers because who would like to be served by a changeling? They think I would give them some sort of gem to suck away all of their emotion." said the changeling, rolling his eyes. Trixie chuckled.
"To be expected since ponies are still adapting to the edition of changelings. Now, I came her for an engagement ring." said Trixie. The changeling nodded.
"Of course. Stallion or mare?"
"Mare."
"Unicorn, Pegasus, or Earth Pony?"
"Changeling." said Trixie. The jeweler froze.
"A changeling? Changelings have only been living here for a few months and haven't even made it as high as Canterlot Castle except for the one queen who stays there. You don't plan on marrying Queen Swarm, do you?" asked the changeling.
"No. Not my type. No. It's a former queen." said Trixie. The changeling thought for a moment before smiling.
"Well I thought I heard rumors of Chrysalis surviving her banishment. Wouldn't expect her to travel into Canterlot, let alone a princesses heart."
"And her womb." said Twilight with a smirk. Trixie blushed and smacked her sister-in-law in the back of the head.
"What do you...oh." The stallion blushed as well. "Well, um, I see why this is important."
"Yes, that's why I would like to find the perfect ring. And with haste, please. Chrysalis will be suspicious if I'm gone too long." said Trixie, tapping her hoof impatiently.
"Of course. This way, please."
"So, have a plan on how your going to do it?" asked Twilight, Trixie already have tucked the black and green ring box away.
"I may have thought of something with the assistance of mother." The two walked in silence, searching for a topic. Twilight looked down at the soon to be growing stomach of Trixie.
"What are you hoping for?" she asked, cocking her head.
"For a foal? A filly. We have plenty in our family but they seem, easier and a tad more calm, except when we hit heat then all hell breaks loose." The two shared a giggle. "Though, for some reason, I already think it to be a filly. I just have this feeling that it is."
"Rainbow had that exact same feeling with Prism and Glimmer. I think Celestia had the same with Bright. It's just a mother thing and you may end up being right." said Twilight with a smile.
"And I hope it is. I actually can't wait to see how Chrysalis will take to her when she comes. She looks cute enough when cuddly. I think I might die of a heart attack if she cuddles with a foal, especially her own." The two giggled.
"Here lies Trixie Lulamoon. She died of a Daww related heart attack." teased Twilight.
"And that is probably what's going to happen." said Trixie. She looked up towards the castle and smiled. "Despite the whole AC bullshit, the last three years have been the best years of my life. I found my family, met a beautiful mare, and mow I'm about to propose to her and have her foal within a year. I say it has been a good three."
"The past three years have been good to all of us. Come on, you got a mare to propose to."
Trixie sat on a blanket positioned under the stars. The clouds were cleared and the moon raised and each star shone to perfection. The things her mother would do for her was amazing. She smiled as she waited for her partner to join her. She hummed as she thought about what was about to take place.
"Sorry I'm late. Swarm had a few things she needed to discuss quick." Chrysalis walked up to her and planted a kiss on her horn. Trixie purred at the feeling and nuzzled up against her. Chrysalis hummed and layed her head on Trixie's.
"You need to give your mother my praise. It's beautiful out tonight." said Chrysalis, scanning the brightly lit sky.
"Yes, she did a beautiful job. Twilight was decent when she controlled the stars before taking over Solarmancy, but no night beats mom's." said Trixie. "Speaking of celestial related magic...." The moon on her regalia flashed slightly as she worked the ancient magic.
Silver bands formed from the moon light and wrapped around each other. Trixie kept her eyes closed as she worked it, weaving the object in her magic. The finished result was a silver flower, still waiting to bloom. There was a small flash as Trixie added her final touch.
"How long have we been together, Chryssy?" asked Trixie, inspecting her work. She twirled it around in her magic to examine its silver petals.
"Six months next week." said Chrysalis, smiling.
"You keep saying that you don't know if you could love our foal enough. Chrysalis, you swore that it would take gods above to separate us. You even murdered a room of ponies when I was injured. I know you will lov our foal more than anything.
"If you still aren't convinced, I do have one more thing to help prove to you." she said, stopping the rose. Chrysalis cocked her head. Trixie stood, Chrysalis followed. Trixie took a deep breath before kneeling.
"Chrysalis, will you marry me?" The silver rose bloomed. Instead of the expected center, there was a ring. The ring was of intersecting azure and green, intertwining each other around the gold embroidered ring. Chrysalis stared in shocked awe, tears pouring down her cheeks.
"Yes," she whispered pulling a smile on her face. "YES!" Chrysalis pounced forward, tackling the mare before her in a kiss. In abcense of magic, the flower closed to protect the ring as it fell to the ground. Chrysalis broke apart and layed her forehead on her partners, still crying.
"I love you." she whispered, imitating Fluttershy's voice. Trixie pecked her on the lips and wrapped her hooves around her waist.
"I love you, too."
Author's Note
And I have proven that shipfics are my strong suit. Well, good thing Trixie didn't murder Chrysalis. Who would be are funny, sexy, changeling then? (That would be tragic!) Exactly! Well, we might have another wedding next chapter, guys. I might end this story with their foal and a little extra. Then we can move on to the final story of the trilogy. See you all next chapter.
Solar Child: Burden of the Crown
Chapter Seventeen: A Royal Wedding
"This day is going to be perfect~ Just as I dreamed as a child~" Chrysalis did a little twirl in her wedding dress. It was an odd look since her black carpace stood out against the white fabric, but she was going to stick to tradition. It was the least she could do for her soon to be wife.
She hummed 'This Day Airia' as she brushed her mane. Rarity stood by another mirror as she fixed up her own mane, having nothing better to do while Chrysalis brushed her own mane. It would cause less pain when she gave it up to be done up.
"Where have I heard that song before?" asked Rarity, the notes finally making some sense to the mare. Chrysalis froze and flinched.
"I may have been singing it before the royal wedding of Cadence and Shining Armour." said Chrysalis with a sheepish smile. Rarity cocked her head.
"You dreamt of getting married?" asked the mare. Chrysalis nodded.
"To a prince, of course. That was, however, before I figured out I was gay. Them it was a very beautiful princess." said Chrysalis, smiling as she remembered old fantasies. "Funny how old dreams can come true."
"It is curious, indeed." said Rarity, walking up behind the mare to start on her mane. "And I say Trixie couldn't be luckier." said the fashionista. Chrysalis chuckled.
"I heard that a lot the past five months after. By the way, did Swarm find a partner to bring to the wedding? She was fretting over how she needed one." It was true. The young Queen Swarm somehow believed that she needed a date to bring to the wedding. Chrysalis tried to tell her it was not needed, but the young alicorn refused to listen.
"Yes actually. You even know this mare." said Rarity with a smirk. Chrysalis raised an eyebrow.
"Oh?"
"Oh yes, deary. It's that lovely assistant of yours. Swift Quill if I recall."
"Swift?" said Chrysalis, surprised. "Never knew Swarm to be the type to go after the bookish mares. You know, if you ask, Swift could tell you every single law concerning the area of your choice. I swear she is a book." said the former queen with a giggle.
"So another Twilight? Well that's different indeed. They do look like a cute couple, however." said Rarity, looking off in nowhere.
"Equestria to Rarity? The bride would like her mane down before I have to on the alter." said Chrysalis, waving a hoof in front of Rarity's face. The mare smiled sheepishly and went back to work on the green mane before here.
"Nervous?" asked Rarity, noticing Chrysalis' bouncing hoof. Chrysalis sighed.
"It's just-I'm just scared. I don't want to mess up. I mean, this is the biggest step next to our foal we have taken and I don't want to mess this up." said the changeling. Rarity finished and stepped away.
"It's normal for you to feel this way, deary. I had the most unladylike breakdown before marrying Applejack." said Rarity, bowing her head to make the golden wedding band more visible. Chrysalis reached up with a hoof and played with the green and blue engagement sitting at the base of her horn, ready to meet its golden comrade.
"Yeah, I guess you're right." said Chrysalis smiling.
"Of course, darling. Now, let's finish getting you ready!"
~~~~~~~~~
Three weddings. That was the new count. The wedding during the invasion three years back, the dual wedding around a year ago, and now her own.
Behind her stood Swarm, Swift, And Rainbow Dash. On the other side was Twilight, Rarity, and Applejack. The room was filled with ponies and changelings from across Equestria. It made her shake slightly. Her nerves starting to show.
A white golden clad hoof was placed on her shoulder. She turned her head to see Celestia smiling down at her warmly. Chrysalis calmed down slightly. Celestia leaned forward so that she was level with her ear.
"Don't worry, me and Luna are right here and so all of your friends. Just relax." whispered the regal alicorn. She straightened back up, the warm smile never leaving. Chrysalis smiled back, now calm. This lasted until the music signaling the arrival of the bride played.
Chrysalis turned towards the door and ha to keep her jaw from hitting the floor as Trixie entered the ball room. She was wearing a similar wedding dress, straight from the shop of Miss Rarity, and had her flowing mane tied back slightly, giving Chrysalis full view of the azure face that was beaming brightly at her. Chrysalis mentally yelled at her heart to slow down, she did not need it flying out in the middle of the ceremony.
Trixie stood in front of her, Luna detaching herself from her daughters side and walking back to where Shining and Cadence were seated, picking up her daughter as she did so. Bright Night giggled as Luna picked her up and placed her up. She then cooed as her other mothers voice echoed through the room.
"Fillies and Gentlecolts. We are here to witness the combining of two ponies in marriage, and the first ever marriage of a pony and changeling. Here to forever join in marriage is the Princess of Lunamancy, Princess Trixie Lulamoon, and esteemed changeling high queen, Queen Chrysalis." This statement earned murmurs from the crowd, a smile from Luna, and a proud grin from Swarm. Lastly, a wide smile from Trixie and an overly shocked gape from Chrysalis. Celestia smiled and continued.
"Trixie, you may recite your vows first." The new declaration of title was forgotten by Chrysalis as Trixie began.
"I, Princess of Lunamancy, Trixie Lulamoon, vow to be by your side through all hardships, aid you when you are ill, and support you when it is needed." said Trixie, capturing Chrysalis once again. Celestia smiled wider as she turned to Chrysalis.
"And now, Chrysalis, your vows." Chrysalis took a deep breath.
"I, High Queen of the Changelings, Queen Chrysalis, vow to hold and protect you and our daughter, let no obstacle stand the way for our future, and love both of you forever and always." All doubts Chrysalis ever had vanished, the bright smile amd tears of joy from the mare in front of her were enough to vanish them.
"With these rings, the souls of these two mares will be bound together, signaling their everlasting love for on another." It was now Chrysalis realized Spike, the teenage drake that stood at the height of a full grown stallion, stood at her side in a tux holding a plush pillow with to golden wedding bands. Chrysalis levitated one and placed it around Trixie's horn, Trixie doing the same to her.
"Do you, Trixie Lulamoon, take Chrysalis as your newly wedded wife?" asked Celestia. Trixie smiled, choking back tears.
"I do."
"And do you, Chrysalis, take Trixie Lulamoon as your newly wedded wife?"
"I do."
"Then I pronounce you mare and changeling. You may now kiss your bride." Oh how Chrysalis was more than happy to do just that. The crowd erupted into cheers as their lips met, making that moment more magical than either imagined possible. It was surely on of the best days of their lives and the start of their life together.
Author's Note
These last chapters are going to have a lesser word count since we are calming down. Next stop, birth of the pony/changeling hybrid an ending the story one chapter later with a beautiful epilogue.
Solar Child: Burden of the Crown
Chapter Eighteen: Nympha
A week. That's how long they said the foal had before birth. Chrysalis new for a fact that this wasn't true. It was between that ten month and eleven month marker that a foal is born. That left three weeks of not knowing when the foal could pop up. It was annoyingly panic inducing, but so worth it in the end.
"I think that's the twentieth time you moved that crib." said Trixie, giggling as Chrysalis moved the crib in her green aura to another spot in the room. The pregnant mare was slowly rocking in a rocking chair in the room they had set up in their quarters. It's amazing what magic could do to help prepare for a foal.
"I just want to make sure she is safe. I don't want where she is getting cold or where she is getting hot. I..."
"Babe, come here." said Trixie, still giggling. Chrysalis released the crib and moved next to her. Trixie grabbed on of her holed hooves and placed it on her large belly.
"This, this is our child. Our filly. I have no doubt that you will love her and protect her but you need to relax. She will be just fine." said the azure alicorn. Chrysalis smiled and nuzzled her.
"I know. I just worry." she said, purring into the blue fur. Trixie chuckled.
"I wouldn't believe you if you said you didn't." They sat there, holding each other in their hooves as they sat in their foals room. "It's really going to happen, isn't it?"
"It is. But I shouldn't be too worried. I have the most beautiful wife in Equestria, and soon the cutest filly in Equestria. We would team up and go on our mission to cause heart attacks from our adorableness. No pony will be able to stop us!" Chrysalis did a fake evil laugh, gaining a giggle from Trixie.
"Now, now. No world domination and nation wide heart attacks. You have to be a good mare for your daughter." said Trixie, booping Chrysalis on the nose.
"Haven't I been good enough?" asked Chrysalis, pouting. Trixie smiled and leaned their foreheads together.
"I love you the way you are." She winced. "Damn, that was one hell of a cramp." said Trixie, gripping her stomach. Her eyes looked down and saw the light reflect off something on the chair. She poked at it with her hoof. Her eyes went wide in realization.
"Chrysalis?"
"Yes, Hun?"
"I hope you're ready."
"More than likely, why?"
"My water broke." Those were the words she had been dreading. Don't get her wrong, she wanted her foal, but she still panicked at the thought that it was time.
Trixie yelped as she felt her position change from the chair to laying parallel with Chrysalis' back, her belly pointing to the ceiling. The same aura that out her there held onto her with dear life as Chrysalis booked it out of the room and out of their quarters, surprising the guards as she nearly hit them with the door on her way out.
Trixie blushed and kept her hind legs crossed and her fore hooves planted above her area. She loved Chrysalis and she understood the panic, but she could take her there without making her vagina presentable to every guard they passed. It was overly embarrassing and the contractions weren't helping her situation. It seemed her wife and un-born daughter were keen on killing her with embarrassment. It was working well enough.
Another painful contraction went through her as she was brought into the hospital. She was quickly lifted off of Chrysalis and wheeled into a room, crying out in pain as another contraction hit.
"Why the fuck does this have to be so painful!" A dumb question but she didn't care. The fact that it was an alicorn and alicorns come equipped with a very pointy horn did not help the expirence. In some sense, mares who give birth to a unicorn, alicorn in her case, must be really tough considering the horn. That must have made changeling mares even more tough due to their jagged horns. Main point, horns hurt like fuck during birth.
Chrysalis sat in the waiting room since she was asked to stay out because she was panicking. It was probably for the best but hearing her wife be in pain and not be able to do anything was torture for her. After awhile of listening to the deafing screaming of Trixie, the other two couples walked in. Bright balanced on Luna's back while Dash held Prism, Twilight had Glimmer.
"You brought the kids?" asked Chrysalis, eyeing the three filly's who were nearing a year of age.
"We didn't have time to find somepony to look after them. Besides, they are starting to have 'outbursts'." explained Celestia, nuzzling her daughter. Chrysalis winced. Being a magic user herself as well as a younger sister who ran one of the hives and was under command, she knew very well what these 'outbursts' were and how they were like. It was thank to such a similar 'outburst' that she now waited for her first daughter to be born.
"Yes, 'outbursts' are not to be left unattended." said Chrysalis. "Faust knows they caused me some trouble." she mumbled, looking over at the closed door where her wife was giving birth.
"Nervous?" asked Luna, sitting next to her.
"I spent three hours moving a crib around because I was paranoid. I saw I'm nervous." deadpanned Chrysalis. Luna chuckled.
"Welcome to the world of parenthood. Just wait until your maternal instincts kick in. A colt would be thinking twice when they approach your daughter." said Luna with a giggle. Chrysalis smiled at the antics of the ancient mare.
There was a loud scream, drowning out their words. As it faded, a smaller, more fragil pair of lungs began to wail. Tears of pure joy streamed down Chrysalis' cheeks as she rushed into the room.
Trixie laid in the bed, looking exhausted and her mane frizzy out in different directions instead of its usual flowing form. She had a small smile on her face as she looked down at the foal she held in a pink blanket. Chrysalis padded softly to her side a looked into the bundle.
Just like her cousins and aunt, she was an alicorn. The filly was a bubble gum pink with a dark blue mane. In a sense, she had kept the looks of a pony except for her horn. Jagged with a few holes in it. The filly yawned, showing off her fangs. Trixie visibly paled at the sight.
"My poor teats." Chrysalis giggled at her. As the filly finished yawning, she opened her eyes to show off her purple eyes, exact replicas of Trixie's
"Seems the only trait of mine is the horn and fangs. You get the beautiful eyes." said Chrysalis softly, nuzzling her daughter. The filly giggled and clamped onto her snout. She winced as the fangs hit her.
"Wait, why does she have fangs? She was just born?" asked Trixie, cocking her head.
"For some reason, changelings are born with fangs. I believe its because we feed with them in some cases." said Chrysalis.
"Feed with them?"
"Think of it like how you can smell something delicious. We taste it with our fangs. We could also direct the invisible flow of emotion through them. It's a complicated process." said Chrysalis, shaking her head. "It's probably a default for her since there is not enough changeling gene to give her the need to feed off of emotion, but doesn't rule out the possibility."
"Let's figure her out when I'm less tired." said Trixie, shaking her head. "Besides, I just want to admire my new family."
"Same here, same here." said Chrysalis, laying her head on her wife's. They sat and watched as their foal wavered the room with her eyes. It was defiantly a start of a good life to come.
"What do we name the little pupa?" asked Chrysalis. "It's another word for foal in changeling speak." she explained as Trixie gave her a confused look.
"I don't know. You have any ideas?"
"Just one. Nympha." said Chrysalis. Upon hearing the name, the filly looked over at her mothers and cooed. Trixie giggled.
"I think she agrees."
"It's settled. She is our little Nympha."
Author's Note
It's another foal! These chapters are shooting out foals like crazy. One more short chapter that I will have up sometime in the morning. By Monday, I should have another story somewhere close to starting. We are nearing the end of our trilogy and one of my most successful stories ever. Enjoy and see you guys at the epilogue.
Solar Child: Burden of the Crown
Epilogue
Chrysalis' hooves padded softly in the grass as she walked through the Whitetail Woods. The birds chirped their happy tunes while her mother-in-law's sun poured its light down onto her. She had a sad smile on her face as she walked towards her destination.
The familiar surroundings around her made her smile as she took it all in. It felt so serene and calm that it made one completely forget about the gray grave marker that stuck out of the ground in a small clearing. Chrysalis stopped in front of the two hundred year old grave stone and laid in front of it, tears slowly falling down her cheeks.
Here lies changeling Queen Metamorphosis, a loving mother and strong ruler.
1236 B.N. - 813 A.C.
"Hey mom." said Chrysalis softly. "It's been three years, but I'm back. That invasion thing was a bust. You would probably roll over in your grave and laugh at me and tell me how right you were about that being a stupid idea. But, I actually helped my friends confess to each other. Now they're married and have beautiful twin alicorns.
"I also found somepony. A princess of Equestria, if you would believe it. Her name Is Trixie. I remember you always saying I needed to give you grandfoals. Well, you have one. And a daughter in law. I've been busy." Chrysalis laughed softly. "I miss you."
The clearing was quiet except for the slight breeze and chirping of birds. The forest it's usual cheery self. Chrysalis smiled and scanned the clearing.
"I remember you taking me here when I was but a pupa. We can here a lot in those days. You said this is were you met father before he left. Even after two hundred years they haven't found his body. It's sad, really. I hoped Nympha could at least meet one of her other grandparents." She laid her head on her hooves and looked at the grave stone.
"One day, when she is older, I will bring her to see you. I exchange, I want you to look after her. I'm High Queen of the Changelings and wife of one of the royal family. Our life is not easy and not exactly safe. Please, watch over your granddaughter."
"Chrysalis?" Chrysalis looked behind her to see a worried Trixie staring at her. She sighed and patted the spot next to her. Trixie laid down next to her and examined the stone before her, reading the engraving before her.
"How old were you when she died?" she asked, looking over at her wife.
"Just barely one hundred. Still pretty young in terms of alicorns."
"Was she still young?" asked Trixie, looking at the dates. She must have been two thousand years old.
"Around thirty in pony terms. Our parents would be fourty." Chrysalis chuckled. "Look at me. Talking about the past like an old pony." They lapsed into a silence, only broken by Trixie.
"Can I talk to her?" Chrysalis motioned to the grave stone with a wave of her hoof, telling her to go on ahead. "I guess you're my mother-in-law now, even if dead. I don't know how much you worry for your daughter, but I made my vows for a reason, and I intend on keeping them." She kissed the bottom of her hoof and placed it on the smooth stone. "Rest in peace, sweet Metamorphosis."
"You don't even know the changeling yet you bless her grave?" asked Chrysalis, shocked. Trixie smiled and kissed her on the forehead.
"I hardly knew you and yet I'm married to you and have a wonderful daughter that you helped create. And since she gave me you, how can I not show my thanks." said Trixie. Chrysalis smiled and leaned their foreheads together.
"You really have a heart of pure gold, you know that?"
"If you knew me back when I went by The Great and Powerful Trixie, you wouldn't be saying that." said Trixie, smirking.
"The Great and Powerful Trixie?" asked Chrysalis, confused. Trixie laughed.
"Yes, Trixie knows she is great and powerful, peasent." said Trixie, putting on a wave of self-righteousness. Chrysalis could see she was laughing on the inside.
"You were a showmare?" asked Chrysalis, chuckling.
"Yeah. It was so embarrassing. Thankfully mother came on in and pulled me out of it." said Trixie, calming down.
"And I'm glad she did so." said Chrysalis, laying her head on Trixie's shoulder. Trixie nuzzled her and stood up.
"Come on. Twilight would probably like us to take back Nympha." Chrysalis nodded and stood up. They took one last look at the grave. Chrysalis teleported off. Trixie was about to follow when she stopped. She smiled and lit her horn. Once the spell was finished, she smiled and teleported off.
A single silver rose sat in front of the grave. To forever last as a marker of the late queen.
~The End~
Author's Note
Holy crap, guys! I finished another story! I'm going to start brainstorming up the final part of this trilogy and have it up sometime soon.
Thank you to TheGreatEater for editing this.
Solar Child: Burden of the Crown
Chapter One: One Year Later
Twilight sat on the balcony to preform one of her many duties since becoming a princess, painting the night sky. The job was originally held by her aunt but was given to her due to the fact she, by accident, put a new constellation in the night sky, using hardly any of the power it usually took Luna.
Once the moon was nearly in the sky, Twilight focused on her magic and pointed her head directly at the sky. Her horn glowed in a rose aura as she channelled her magic. Soon, stars rose from her horn and shot into the sky, exploding in the night sky and painting it. Millions of stars, constellations, and galaxies covered the night sky as the moon journeyed into the sky. The glow around her horn faded and she opened her eyes to view her work.
She had been the Princess of Magic and Stars for about a year now. She was in a happy relationship, which they still needed to tell her mother about, and wanted to take to a new level. Twilight thought for a moment. The only two things she could think of stepping up to is marriage and a foal. She didn't know which one Dash wanted let alone what she wanted. But they both agreed, Celestia needed to be told first.
There was a soft knock on the door and the knob was engulfed in an golden aura. Twilight shook awake the sleeping Pegasus that layed on her bed, telling her that her mother arrived. Rainbow Dash rubbed the sleep out of her eyes as Celestia and Luna stepped into the deep lavender room that served as Twilight's bedroom.
"Good evening, Rainbow Dash. I did not know my daughter invited you along." said Celestia as she sat down on the woven rug in her daughters room. Luna sat next to her after giving Dash a nod in greeting. She sat down, making sure they were some distance apart to avoid suspicions.
"Yes, we'll, you see, me and Dash have something to tell you that we should have a long time ago." started Twilight.
"If only Twi didn't keep getting cold hooves." said Rainbow, blowing a strand of rainbow mane out of her face. Twilight glared at her.
"We'll your mother isn't the most powerful being in Equestria." she fired back. Rainbow dismissed it with a wave of her hoof. Twilight smiled and rolled her eyes. "Alright then, you tell them." Rainbow's eyes went wide and she seemed to pale.
"No. I'm good. You can tell them." sputtered Rainbow. Twilight giggled and rolled her eyes.
"I'm getting quiet curious on what this is you are talking about." said Luna, looking between the two. Celestia nodded in agreement.
"Yes, I would like to know why you asked us to come her, my dear daughter." Twilight sighed and looked up at her mother, keeping her head low.
"Me and Rainbow having been dating the past year."
"What?!" yelled Celestia, causing everyone in the room to flinch. "How come you have waited a whole year to tell your mother?" she demanded. Luna quickly stepped in.
"Now Tia. We have been keeping the fact that we are dating for three years." She quickly placed a hoof over her mouth as she realized what she said. Both her and Celestia paled, which was a feat for Celestia. They turned to the two ponies who sat staring at the, with their jaws hanging open. Celestia glared at Luna.
"Luna!"
"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to say it, it just came out." She gave a small smirk. "You actually look hot when you are angry."
"You're sleeping in your room tonight."
"That's torture, Tia!"
"Well that's what you get for telling them that we are dating before we are ready."
"Alright, alright, let's try to clear things up. Me and Tia will go first since we seem to be the bigger item." said Luna, shifting into a more comfy position. "You see, me and Tia were both orphaned around the same time, but are from different families. Our mother who ruled before us took us in and raised us since we were always close to each other and acted like sisters.
"After her death three hundred years before my rise to Nightmare Moon, me and Tia were no longer sisters but the public didn't see it that way. They called us sisters for our appearance and the fact we had the same mother. Twenty years after mothers death we got together up until Nightmare Moon." She finished and looked to Celestia to see if she missed something. She nodded her head telling her that she did alright.
"But why haven't you came out and corrected the public about you being sisters?" asked Twilight, still trying to come off shock.
"Because I really couldn't while she was not with me to confirm it." replied Celestia, referring to Luna's bamishment. "And we didn't do it before your coronation because we wanted to see how they reacted to that first. Now it's been a year and we believe we are ready."
"So tomorrow we are holding a press conference to not only come out about us being foster sisters once upon a time, but also the fact we are lesbian and are dating each other." added Luna.
"Well, that came only end smoothly." muttered Rainbow Dash. Celestia giggled and pointed a hoof at her.
"You haven't forgotten the fact you and Twilight still have to come out to the public, right." asked Celestia with a smirk. Rainbow's eyes went wide.
"Don't tell me..."
"Yep. Me and Tia won't be the only ones coming out tomorrow." said Luna. Twilight sighed with relief at the fact that she could stop hiding it but Rainbow tensed at the fact she had to come out in front of a room of reporters.
"Do I have to?" she whined, not exactly warm to the idea.
"You are my marefriend and we need to tell the public together." said Twilight. Rainbow sighed.
"Fine. Only because you can be very convincing and sexy at the same time." said Rainbow with a small smile. The two kissed until they were broke up by Celestia clearing her throat. The two blushed as they became aware of their company.
"How did you two get together, by the way?" asked Luna.
"We'll I had feelings for Twilight since she came to Ponyville and they slowly grew over the years. I guess I got the guts to tell her how I felt and she returned those feelings after a gave her some space." said Dash, nuzzling into the larger mare that sat next to her. "And we have been together since."
"Have you thought about taking it to another step into your relationship yet?" asked Celestia.
"Um, well, we did but we don't know where." said Twilight, Rainbow nodding. Luna cocked her head.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, the only two options we have is marriage or a foal and I don't know if we are ready." replied Twilight.
"Why not both?" Everyone stared at Luna. "What? Propose and have a foal. Have the wedding before or just after birth. It could work." Twilight thought for a moment.
"Alright." she said with a nod. She then gave a smirk. "But you two have to do the same." Celestia stared at her with her mouth open. Luna put her hoof to her jaw for a moment.
"Deal."
"Lulu! You seriously can't be considering this!" exclaimed Celestia.
"Why not? We have been together for about two hundred and twenty three years."
"A thousand of which you spent on the moon."
"So? I think it's time we got married. Besides, we thought about a foal plenty of times." Celestia put a hoof to her face and sighed.
"Fine." Luna and Twilight hoof bumped. "But who is going to carry the foals?"
"Oh, that's easy." said Twilight. "You and Rainbow."
"Wait, why me?!" yelled Rainbow.
"Well, mom already has experience in the area and you are not a unicorn."
"What does that have to do with anything?"
"The caster can't get themselves pregnant." said Celestia. "What? How do you think Twilight was born? I'm gay and Im proud to admit no stallions were used in her making." Luna giggled.
"Fine. You better help make a beautiful baby." she said as she jabbed at Twilight's side, making her yelp.
"Royal baby-boomers. Well there is a first for everything." muttered Celestia.
Author's Note
Foals in the future everypony! This won't be the main focus but it will pop up. Anywhore, these chapters will probably be longer than the ones in Solar Child and be paced out some more. I'm making sure to pre read for good measure but don't expect it to be a flawless piece of magic.
Hope you enjoy the sequel to Solar Child, male sure to read it first if you haven't yet. Comment, Fave, and Like. (Holy shit, I sound like I'm in a YouTube video! Wait, nope, it's just the authors box.

Solar Child: Burden of the Crown
Chapter Three: Realizations and Second Thoughts
The four alicorns and one Pegasus entered the dining hall, six ponies and one dragon already waiting for them. Shining Armour ran up and wrapped his hooves around his sister the best he could with her size. Twilight bent down slightly to allow the stallion to hug her fully.
"I never understood, are you two actually siblings?" asked Rainbow, taking a seat. She nuzzled Twilight lightly as she sat down next to her.
"Not completely. Shining was my mothers first. Well, Sparkle's first. She had him before her and my mom" She nudged Celestia lightly. "Met. I didn't know until I was six." There was a round of nodding.
"What was it like when you two first met, you never told me." said Spike, lifting up a cup with what liquid she wasn't sure.
"Well, um..." said Shining, scratching the back of his head. Twilight kept a calm and nuterual face.
"He was thrown across the library as I was kidnapped." she lifted a cup of tea to her mouth as silence fell over the room.
"You are awfully at piece with it, darling." commented Rarity, breaking the silence in half.
"I came to terms that hanging onto it wasn't going to change it so I let go. I don't care what happened then, I'm more worried about what happens now." Twilight slipped a hoof into Rainbow's. she smiled and gripped the lavender appendage.
"So how was dealing with our wonderful cousin? I wasn't there to beat his flank out of the castle, sadly." said Trixie, levitating a cup of tea to her mouth. The azure mare was still a unicorn but tomorrow was her and Twilight's birthday, meaning that her seals will break at midnight.
"Pain in the ass like normal." said Twilight, filling her own cup. "I remember when we were kids and he was actually kinda sweet. Wasn't expecting him to turn out to be a complete ass but what could I do."
"Be like me and beat sense into him with the nearest object. Did I ever tell you that I beat him so hard the week before your coronation that he talked with a voice of a little filly and walked with a limp for a week?" said Trixie, smiling proudly at her feat.
"What did he do to piss you off?" asked Rainbow, sitting back in her chair. Trixie paused mid-sip and her smile vanished. She slowly put down the cup and looked off to the side.
"It was the day I had to walk manor to manor inviting nobles. The Sparkle's are awesome, by the way. Anyways, I just finished my message when Bluebitch decided to rant, saying how it should go to somepony more deserving." She bit her lip and looked away. "He finished by saying you should have stayed dead, Twi." There was a collective gasp as Trixie finished. Celestia's eye twitched before she called to her guards.
"Yes, your highness?" asked on of the two that approached her.
"I want you to extend Blueblood's sentence to five years. No visitors unless I allow." The guard nodded and left. Celestia sighed and shook her head. "I swear, if more nobles are like this I'm going to have to personally deal with each of them." she said, rubbing her temples.
"I'm starting to be thankful the Apple Family is accepting." said Rarity, scooting up next to Applejack. The two have been together the last few months. Applejack layed her head on Rarity's shoulder.
"Yes, well, not everypony is as warm hearted as them. Blueblood is a prime example." said Twilight, taking a sip of her tea. "Most nobles are greedy, power hungry, and so full of themselves. Is they think something threatens their postion or their bits, they try to get rid of it or stomp it down. Politics is a cruel place that I was sadly born into."
"Ain't I the lucky one." said Trixie with a smirk.
"I doubt orphanages were any better, Trixie." said Twilight. Trixie shrugged.
"So, what's next for you guys then? Are you going the song route with kissing in a tree, first comes marriage then comes foals?" asked Trixie.
"It was actually kissing under a tree, not in it. And as for what's next, we plan on foals within a little while. Get married and a few months later, foals." said Twilight with a smile. Rarity bit her lip and leaned forward.
"Twilight, dear, aren't you worried about the past repeating?" she asked, general concern in her voice.
"What do you mean 'the past repeating.'?" she asked, raising an eyebrow. She bit her lip again and sighed.
"I mean what if your foals go through the same thing you did? Are you prepared for that?" she asked. Twilight froze and stared at her. She stood and turned around.
"I have something I need to attend to. I will see you around Trixie's coronation." With that, she walked out, tears starting to form in her eyes.
"You know that is an extremely sensitive topic with her." said Trixie, glaring at Rarity.
"I know but we can't pretend that it's not a possibility. It could very well happen and she needs to be ready." backed the alabaster mare. Trixie sighed and shook her head.
"I'll go check on her. Some sisterly bonding time, if you will." said Trixie, she stood and walked up to Celestia. She put a hoof on her shoulder and smiled. "I'm sure she will be fine." With that, she left.
"Great. Now I feel like a bitch." said Rarity, placing her head in her hooves.
__________________________________________________________________________________________
Trixie found her sitting in the royal gardens, crying into her hooves. Trixie bit her lip and approached the mare. She paid her no mind as Trixie wrapped a hoof around her waist, brining her into an warm embrace.
Twilight had been there for her when her and Luna came out to be mother and daughter two years ago and now it was her turn to take care of her when she was going through this. She may not legally be her sister yet but she didn't care. They were sisters and she will look after her through every rough spot in their immortal lives.
"I don't want my foals to have the same fate as me." said Twilight in between sobs. "But how can I possible assure that? I can't possibly keep them safe all the time." she said. Trixie stroked her mane and laid her head on hers.
"It will be fine, Twilight. I'm sure that you, Rainbow, and your foals will be fine. If not, then you have your family and friends to help you out." said Trixie. She pulled away and looked her directly in the eyes. "I'll be damned if anypony is going to put you and your children through hell. We are sisters, Twi, and we look out for each other. No matter what the situation." Twilight brought her into a tight embrace, tears rolling down her face.
"Your the best sister ever, you know that?" she asked. Trixie chuckled at the mare.
"Of course. Now since I helped you out you better sleep in the room next to mine tonight. I'll be damned if you're not there to help me through this." said Trixie with a smirk.
"You, Miss Lulamoon, have a deal. Though this will be interesting." said Twilight, putting a hoof to her chin. "My seal was loose when it broke and my friends and a few other ponies came to me and say that they felt a large output in magic. Most just calling it this 'strange tingling feeling throughout their body that filled them with power.' If I could cause that effect with a loose seal, it will be huge when your seal breaks."
"As long as it doesn't kill anypony, fine." said Trixie with a shrug. "Now let's get you inside, missy. I think Rarity will have a mile long apology ready for you when we see her."
"Considering I walked out crying, I wouldn't be surprised." said Twilight, following her soon-to-be-sister-in-law. The two walked side by side into the castle.
