The Canterlot Wedding Tragedy

The Canterlot Wedding Tragedy

  After being imprisoned in the dungeons below Canterlot, Twilight and Cadence go through great challenges and terrible times. Twilight and Cadence were stuck in the dungeons with no way out. Meanwhile, Queen Chrysalis had tricked Shining Armor into marrying her.

   “Cadence, what do we do?” asked Twilight

“I don’t know. I must use all my magic to keep Shining Armor alive. Chrysalis feeds of off love, If Shining Armor runs out of love, he will most certainly die!” answered Cadence.

         “Well we can’t let that happen, now can we?” said Twilight.

         Cadence was getting weaker by the minute. She was feeding Shining Armor love so that Chrysalis won’t kill him.

   Meanwhile, Chrysalis and Shining Armor had moved into the Crystal Empire. Because they were so far away Cadences magic was weaker. Chrysalis was a terrible ruler. After bringing back joy to the crystal ponies, she called all the changelings to come and feed of their love for Chrysalis. The crystal ponies were blinded.

  One day, Chrysalis decided to go back to her hive for a while and leave Shining Armor alone, however he was still deep in the spell. Cadence was dying, all the love she had sent to Shining Armor left her with no love. Shining Armor was already in that deep spell, he forgot about Cadence, he couldn’t love her anymore. She decided she can’t go like this forever. Because she was weak, her alicorn powers were weak. If only somepony else had those powers… Cadence realized what she could do!

   “Twilight, please come here. I will give you my alicorn powers. I will become a Pegasus, as I was before. However, you will get my powers and you will become stronger than ever. What I ask of you is once you get your alicorn powers do not try to get me out if here, it will exhaust you. Twilight, you must make a portal. It will take a lot of energy. You must make a portal to the Crystal Empire. There, with the remaining powers you have, you can save Shining Armor and the whole of Equestria,” said Cadence.

   “I will do so,” answered Twilight.

  Blue magic started coming from Cadence’s horn. The whole room was now filled with blue light. It was truly marvelous. But there was no time to admire pretty things. Twilight suddenly felt a lot stronger and saw that she had wings. She looked at Cadence. She was almost dead. Her horn was not there anymore, only some small pegasus wings. Twilight  shook her head. She had no time for mourning. With almost all her powers she opened a portal. Quickly, she entered it.

        Twilight woke up feeling dizzy. Looking around, she saw she was actually in the changelings’ hive. Her spell didn’t go right! In a matter of seconds she was surrounded by changelings. They all turned into the now Pegasus Cadence. But Twilight was a step ahead. She knew that Cadence couldn’t have possibly-. Or could she? Maybe Cadence came through the portal too. Twilight was too afraid to hit any of the changelings, for maybe they were Cadence. Twilight realized that she could fly! However, she didn’t know how. But why would it matter? It was her brother she was trying to save! So she started flapping her wings rapidly. The changelings started flying too. She had no chance but to hit them even though they might be Cadence. She hit hundreds of them. In one last move, she hit the last one.

   “Twilight, it was meeeeee!” said Cadence.

   Twilight watched terrified as Cadence fell to the ground, lifeless. Taers started running down her cheek. It was her fault. She killed Cadence. She felt like she couldn’t live with that feeling. She rushed to Canterlot. Her powers were too weak to try to create another portal. It was taking forever. She was flying and flying hours on end. She closed her eyes and hit something. When she opened her eyes she saw before her Chrysalis. Twilight was terrified. Near her, tied to a pole, was her brother.

   “TWILEY!” said Shining Armor.

   “BBBFF!” exclaimed Twilight.

  “Oh sappy.” Said  Chrysalis “ How cute! You see Twilight , how may I say this, you won’t see your brother again. I have been feeding of his love for Cadence for so long, he is now so weak and helpless.” Said Chrysalis.

   “WELL CADENCE IS DEAD!” shouted Twilight.

   In that moment Shining Armor’s eyes swelled up. He burst into tears. Twilight told Chrysalis about all that happened and how she will never kill her brother! Chrysalis rolled her eyes and ordered a group of changelings to imprison them in a dungeon until further notice. Shining Armor was dying. He was dying because Chrysalis had sucked all the love he had for Cadence out of him. Now that she was dead he couldn’t love her anymore. He was weak and helpless. Twilight couldn’t believe it. First, her favorite foalsitter, and now her brother?! She couldn’t take it. Twilight told Shining Armor that she had a bit of power left. She told him that if she tried hard enough she could save him. However Shining Armor told her that he’d rather see Twilight defeat Chrysalis and bring back peace to Equestria, rather than saving him. Twilight obeyed, and started thinking of a plan.

   After hours on end, Twilight had an idea. However, this idea involved her sacrificing herself. Altough of the price there was to pay, Twilight decided she just had to save Equestria. She used a levitation spell to take the key out of a guard’s pocket and open the door. She ran until she reached Chrysalis’s room. She told herself there is no time to waste. She challenged Chrysalis to a duel. Twilight put all her power together for the biggest hit. She killed Chrysalis but, she killed herself too.

  Overtime, the changelings died since they had no leader to give them food. Shining Armor was proud of Twilight. She sacrificed herself to save Equestria.

        With a last breath, Shining Armor whispered: ”I am proud of you, Twilight, I am going to join you and Cadence soon.”
