~Four weeks and one day later~

"Argh.." I moaned while trying to get up normally on my hoofs, I looked around me to get any idea where I was trapped it, it was silent, like a forest, just silent. No wind... nothing.

"Where in the hoof am I?" I asked myself confusingly.

I started walking in direction I thought would be the exit but I bumped into the rock, I was confused, I didn't know what to do, but all of sudden I could hear a nearby magic being used. I followed the sound, the dark cave was a mysterious place for any magic to be happening in. As I walked to the sound I looked around me, there was nothing but darkness, there were so many emotion circulating trough my body, even a pony like me I do not get scared a lot... but this might be one of the times... I do.

~About one day later~

I was walking what I believed was a whole freaking day, the cave system must be longer than I imagined to be, twists and turns in every way if I choose the wrong path... I might die in agony and pain... but I believe that this is the way.

"I must keep going... forward..." I motivated myself

"I must be strong... do not let any problems get to me... I shall pass this test." I kept going while speaking to myself because there was nobody around me.

I heard a distant moan... sounded like somepony was trapped in here as well, I followed the noise again... it came from the same direction where the magic noise was from. I believe that the pony was unconscious.

"Must... help... and get out... of here...." I spoke as I walked forward in pain

"Hello? Is anyone there?" Twilight shouted to see if she will get any response from any other pony to come and rescue her

I heard the voice and I knew that it was Twilight, she was in trouble

"I must help... Twilight" I walked to the direction that I heard all the noises coming from.

Twilight shouted in terror "Help! Help!"

Princess Cadence laughed "It's no use. No one can hear you. And no one will ever think to-"

"Hah! I seemed you 'evil' plans didn't work... did they, Queen Chrysalis?" I interrupted her

"Oh. I see that you've found my dear Twilight, you must have heard her 'help call' I shall say. Well. It's NO use. You shall NOT ESCAPE THESE RUINS! Muahahaha!" Queen Chrysalis laughed as she disappeared from the mirrors.

Twilight was so full of anger that she just fired her magic everywhere, at every glass she could see, she screamed in anger.

"Not going to hel-" I was interrupted as the last shot, the last glass broke... and revealed the real Princess Candace.

Twilight looked sharply at me "Say again, Shadow?"

"Well... umm... FIRSTLY. I would like to tell you that my name is actually, ShadowMere... so... ha! Secondly... umm... good luck I suppose? Heh." I answered Twilight, she knew I had no idea what was I talking about... so she just ignored me and looked at Princess Cadence.

"No! Wait! Ugh! Please! Don't hurt me! Twilight, it's me! Please, you have to believe me. I've been imprisoned like you. The Cadance who brought you down here was an imposter." Princess Cadence said with her last power she had left.

Twilight looked angry at Princess Cadance "Likely story!"

"Sunshine, sunshine, ladybugs awake. Clap your hooves..." Princess Cadance started to sing some sort of song that Twilight and her knew, "...and do a little shake." they both ended the song.

Twilight seemed really happy, "You remember me!"

"Of course I do. How could I forget the filly I love to sit for the most?" Princess Cadence smiled at Twilight in happiness.

Twilight smiled, "We have no more time! We have to get out of here. We have to stop her!"

Song...

[Queen Chrysalis]
This day is going to be perfect
The kind of day of which I've dreamed since I was small
Everypony will gather 'round
Say I look lovely in my gown
What they don't know is that I have fooled them all!

[Princess Cadance]
This day was going to be perfect
The kind of day of which I've dreamed since I was small
But instead of having cake
With all my friends to celebrate
My wedding bells, they may not ring for me at all…

[Queen Chrysalis]
I could care less about the dress
I won't partake in any cake
Vows, well I'll be lying when I say
That through any kind of weather
I'll want us to be together
The truth is I don't care for him at all
No I do not love the groom
In my heart there is no room
But I still want him to be all mine

[Princess Cadance]
We must escape before it's too late
Find a way to save the day
Hope, I'll be lying if I say
"I don't fear that I may lose him
To one who wants to use him
Not care for, love, and cherish him each day"
For I oh so love the groom
All my thoughts he does consume
Oh, Shining Armor, I'll be there very soon

[Queen Chrysalis]
Finally the moment has arrived
For me to be one lucky bride

[Princess Cadance]
Oh, the wedding we won't make
He'll end up marrying a fake
Shining Armor will be…

"Mine... all mine..." Queen Chrysalis laughed evilly.

As soon as we exit the caves I started to think about Rarity... is she okay... is she not hurt, does she miss me? I had so many questions in my mind. I couldn't answer them all.

"SNAP OUT OF IT, SHADOW!" Twilight screamed right at my face as that did not work she slapped my face with her hoof.

I backed up, confused. I looked around, got my all senses back "Right..." I answered.

Princess Cadance, Twilight and me charge the door and stop the whole ceremony.

"STOP!" Twilight shouted

"Ugh! Why does she have to be so possessive of her brother? Why does she have to ruin my special day?" Queen Chrysalis acted out as she was upset.

"Because it's not your special day! It's mine!" The real Princess Cadance answered back.

"What? But how did you escape my bridesmaids?" Queen Chrysalis said confusingly, then she heard her bridesmaids, "I want it!" chasing a what seemed a some kind of flowers.

"Hmph. Clever. But you're still too late." Queen Chrysalis laughed.

I looked at Rarity, she looked beautiful, I've never seen her so beautiful before, it seemed that she was from heavens, I kept staring at her, think about her... thinking is she fine... I wished I could go there and just... hug her, but I was interrupted by a bang. I saw Princess Celestia on the floor and Princess Cadance asking to get the Elements of Harmony. Then I saw something that I will not forget Queen Chrysalis in forever, as the six ponies ran, Twilight Sparkle, FlutterShy, PinkiePie, RainbowDash and AppleJack, Queen Chrysalis has catched Rarity "You are not going ANYWHERE!" Queen Chrysalis laughed.

My body felt different, full with anger, I just wanted to rescue Rarity, I didn't know if she saw me, but I loved her. I couldn't let anyone touch her nor hurt her... "I must... I must... SAVE. RARITY!!!" I screamed as I released my anger. My body changed. I wasn't ShadowMere that everybody knew. I changed completely my mind was completely blank but there was one thought in my mind. To save Rarity.

"Shadow...Mere?" Rarity looked at me shocked, as she didn't recognized me.

I screamed, I let my anger out, I focused on Chrysalis, I let the power go through my body, I knew it was the time, I charged at Queen Chrysalis, as my hoof touched her body we both flew through the wall, "NEVER HURT HER AGAIN!" I screamed at Queen Chrysalis in mid air.

As we hit the mountain, I stepped back and looked at the Queen Chrysalis, "You... shouldn't have..." I sobbed while talking to her, "You... evil."

"Guards...!" Queen Chrysalis screamed with her last powers, and then she fell unconscious, every guard of Queen Chrysalis, every Changeling came up to me, they all stared at me angrily, growling and hissing to me, they knew I was a threat to them.

"Back away." I stared at them angrily. I knew that they wont disobey their Queen. So I focused my power which was left in my body, to save Canterlot, I focused my body, my horn started to glow, my eyes went blank white and the last thing I remember was a loud bang noise. I fell unconscious after that.

~1 Week Later~

In Canterlot Hospital

"Did I save her...?" I asked while my eyes where closed.

"You did..." Rarity answered happily.

As I opened my eyes I saw Rarity standing next to me, no one else was there, just her as soon as I wanted to speak she... kissed me. I couldn't resist, so I gave back the favor. We both kissed each other.

"Never... do that again... Shadow..." Rarity said while hugging me

"I couldn't... I... Love you, Rarity." I said to her quietly.

"I love you too. Shadow." Rarity said and kissed me again.
